Kyoko immediately kneeled in front of Yue Zhong and begged: "Master, please command them to stop, otherwise those innocent survivors will be killed by them!"
Yue Zhong looked at Muto Shin and his men slaughtering the other Japanese with glee, thinking silently for a while before giving an order indifferently: "Alright, enough!"
Indeed, Yue Zhong had intended for Shin and his group to eradicate all the Japanese survivors. After all, it would be the Japanese against each other, and he didn't really feel any emotions. However, he caught sight of 2 little girls amongst the survivors and suddenly felt unwilling to go through with the massacre.
Muto Shin immediately barked loudly: "Yue Zhong-sama has given his order! Stop!"
"Hai! Wakarimashita (Understood)!" Hearing Shin's orders, the 6 Enhancers immediately kept their weapons, looking at the survivors as though they were livestock.
The nature of reverence for the strong was etched deep in the Japanese' bones. Yue Zhong's strength was comparable to the Kami-s of the Takama-ga-hara. After submitting to him, they really complied with his orders.
Japan was a country that focused on hierarchy, regardless of context, work, school, gatherings, even the yakuza. The strong and upper-class would always be treated with respect. Otherwise, it would be hard to survive.
Honda and the rest of thugs were still youths of the society and had no intention of truly submitting to Yue Zhong. Hence, they had wanted to rebel and escape from him. That was why they disobeyed his orders.
With the threat of death looming over their heads, the 100-plus Japanese survivors trembled. They were unsure of how Yue Zhong was going to deal with them, given that he was Chinese. After all, Yue Zhong had been conversing in Chinese with Shin, and the survivors instantly guessed his background.
Yue Zhong came up to the leader and spoke: "What's your name?"
Muto Shin stepped forwards and acted as a translator, posing the question once more in Japanese.
Yue Zhong would usually want the other party to accommodate him, and not the other way round. Muto Shin was not the strongest among the 7 Divine Servants of Takama-ga-hara. However, he became the leader purely because he knew Chinese.
The Japanese leader quickly got on his knees in front of Yue Zhong and spoke in Japanese: "Sir, I'm called Kira Waichi. I'm willing to swear fealty. Please accept me!"
One young Japanese roared out furiously: "Leader Waichi! He's a Chinese dog, how can you kneel?!"
Yue Zhong looked at the youth with the outburst and spoke coldly: "Kill him!"
"Hai! " Shin shot forwards and his blade swung down on the head of the Japanese youth. With a spray of blood, the corpse of the youth slumped to the ground.
Witnessing this cruel scene, shock was written all over the faces of the survivors. They felt their bodies shiver more, and their hearts filled with fear.
Yue Zhong was not a good-tempered person. Upon reaching here, he had been dealing with xenophobia every step of the way. This only served to fuel his foul mood and he wanted to kill some people to make an example.
Kira Waichi kneeled silently, afraid that he would be next. He could tell that even if all 100 of them charged at this Chinese man, he would be able to wipe them out easily.
Yue Zhong eyed Waichi coldly: "I'm Yue Zhong, I'll accept you. Bring me to your base."
It was nearing evening, and Yue Zhong needed a place to rest. The forests were too dangerous and was not suitable for resting.
Waichi stood up and bowed in respect: "Hai!"
Led by Waichi, Yue Zhong and his group came to a valley surrounded by mountains on 3 different sides. There was only one access point.
This valley used to be the private property of an influential businessman, and there were many luxurious villas within. Around the main mansion, there were a few small wooden houses that were erected recently.
The main villa was the living quarters of Waichi and his trusted aides, as well as women. The rest of the wooden houses belonged to the ordinary members and the slaves that they have caught.
Slavery seemed like a thing of the past, but in fact, it was still persistent in modern society. Even prior to the apocalypse, slavery was rampant in Africa.
When the apocalypse happened, society crumbled. Before societal and cultural norms regained their footing, all sorts of weird characters had appeared. It was no surprise that slavery was popular again.
Even Yue Zhong's establishments had slaves. The vast majority of them were the spoils of war between him and Wuyan Hong, and they were branded as slaves to make up for the atrocities against the Chinese. He was likewise merciless to the families of his enemies.
There were about 400 survivors in the valley. The moment Yue Zhong's group walked in, everyone stepped out to look at them curiously.
Yue Zhong looked towards the survivors, noticing that most of them looked sallow and lacked nutrition. It felt like they could fall with just a blow of a wind.
Yue Zhong eyed them and a strange glint flashed in his eyes. He was somewhat pleased: "This place can't compare to my Gui Ning City!"
Yue Zhong had established some form of society in Gui Ning City and Long Hai City, as long as he didn't die, and his resources didn't run out, the stability of his cities would not crumble. An established city was definitely a lot stronger than this small faction of Waichi.
"Welcome back, Master!!" The moment Waichi and Yue Zhong stepped into the villa, 6 beauties between the ages of 18 to 25 immediately came up to greet them in a bow.
One particular 25-year-old had a voluptuous body, and there was a beauty mark at the corner of her lips. She came in to lead Waichi and Yue Zhong's group further within the villa into a large hall.
Waichi gave an order to the beauty: "Masako, from today onwards, this Yue Zhong-sama is our leader. You must be obedient and attend to his needs. Go get Shiroyuki and Asami to come and serve Yue Zhong-sama."
"Yes!" Masako replied respectfully, before retreating.
Waichi then turned to Yue Zhong with a smile: "Sir, Masako is the butler of this villa. She specializes in training other women. Regardless of the type of women, under her training, they would become obedient and docile."
"Oh!" Yue Zhong replied absentmindedly.
Not long after, Masako led 2 beautiful Japanese women in kimonos into the hall. One had doll-like features, long slender legs and fair skin. Her bountiful chest threatened to push out of her clothes, and she wore an extremely sweet smile on her face. The other had an oval-shaped face, her skin as fair as snow, and her frame slender. Her chest wasn't as impressive as the other, but her exquisite features looked as though she was a beautiful painting that had come to life.
Masako immediately introduced them to Yue Zhong: "Yue Zhong-sama! This here is Sakura Shiroyuki and this is Amano Asami. Both of them have never been touched by any men and are still virgins. Shiroyuki, Asami, come over here to greet the Master!"
The 2 beauties were reserved by Waichi to tend to experts, or to be given as gifts as a form of a bargaining chip. He had a number of beauties with him, but they were the only 2 remaining virgins.
The busty doll-like beauty was Shiroyuki, while the other exquisite beauty was Asami.
"We greet Master!" The 2 beauties stepped up and executed a Japanese-style greeting.
Yue Zhong replied mildly: "Get up!"
He had seen his fair share of beauties and would naturally not lose himself over the sight of 2 more.
The 2 beauties continued to smile sweetly as they sat down on either side of Yue Zhong and began to massage him.
"Damn it!" Kyoko thought unhappily to herself as she watched the 2 women.
Waichi looked on before asking carefully: "Sir, what is your next step?"
"Yama County. I'm making my way there." Yue Zhong replied indifferently while on the sofa.
Shiroyuki, who was kneeling by Yue Zhong's left side, carefully placed his hands into her clothes, in between her deep cleavage.
Yue Zhong twisted forcefully, as a bouncy yet smooth and alluring feeling traveled up his fingertips.
Shiroyuki's face flushed red, however, she continued to help Yue Zhong massage his leg.
When Waichi heard what Yue Zhong said, his eyes lit up in joy: "Yama County! Sir, you truly are an ambitious man. Shimazu Yuji is the current leader over the 10,000-strong establishment. You actually want to kill him and take it over. Truly admirable!"
Currently, Japan had returned to its feudal periods, and there were various factions vying for power. Many warlords sought to become the leader of Japan. Waichi thought that Yue Zhong wanted to be one of the contenders.
In the apocalyptic world, whoever had the strongest fist would be the leader. With Yue Zhong's strength, it was truly enough to vie for the position of leader. If Yue Zhong were successful, Waichi would become a renowned figure as well.
Yue Zhong saw how excited Waichi was, and did not dampen his spirits. His only intention was to use the broadcast station there. He laughed mildly and assumed a superior look as he asked: "If I want to bring Yama County down, what good ideas might you have?"
Hearing this question, Waichi sunk into silence. Yama County's Shimazu clan was truly a powerful foe, and he was like an ant to them. He had no means of even launching an attack against them. Therefore, it was a difficult question that Yue Zhong was posing to him.

Waichi thought hard and long, before replying slowly: "Sir, the Shimazu clan is truly powerful."
"Even if Sir, you are invincible and can fight against gods and devils, you can't afford to just charge in like this. There are still other factions like the Saishima, Keiwa and Yoshida establishments around. If we can conquer them and assimilate them into our forces, we would possess enough capacity to contend with the Shimazu clan."
There were various factions of different strengths if one wanted to expand one's strength, the only way was to swallow the other smaller factions. Waichi had intended to do just that, that was why he had launched an assault on the smaller factions nearby.
However, Yue Zhong wasn't too interested in establishing a huge faction here in Japan. Although the Japanese revered the strong, there was a strong xenophobia. With his strength, it wasn't a problem to form a decent-sized base. However, it would be much tougher to expand and contend against Takama-ga-hara. After all, it would be increasingly hard to find trustworthy subordinates.
Even if Waichi and Muto Shin were both at his command, the moment a strong enemy appeared, Yue Zhong would have to be on his guard against these 2 fellows while fighting off the enemy. After all, they were now listening to him purely because they had no choice. It wasn't out of their own free will.
Right at this time, a middle-aged man of about 37 years old wearing an eye patch came storming into the villa. He had a suit, and there was a long blade at his waist. He even emitted a strong killing intent as he barked out coldly: "You pathetic trash dare to even dream about taking on the glorious Shimazu clan? What a bunch of fools!"
8 other men came storming behind him, each of them wearing male kimonos.
Waichi's face turned ugly when he saw how brazen these 9 intruders were, pulling out his odachi at his waist as he barked: "Who are you, people?"
This was a relatively unknown place, and ordinary people would not be able to just barge in. It was obvious that they did not come with good intentions.
The guy with the eye-patch looked at Waichi coldly and ordered: "I'm Kuwata Masashi from the Shimazu Clan. Kira Waichi! I had originally intended to let you live, and allow you to join our Shimazu Clan. However, you dare to collude with a Chinese! You're a failure to our glorious race! Today, I shall wipe you off the face of the earth! Kill him!"
"Sir! Save me!" Waichi's level was only at 38, and he was definitely not a match against 4 Enhancers above his level.
As the 4 Enhancers were about to slice Waichi, Yue Zhong whose left hand was still in between the huge breasts of Shiroyuki raised his Stinger with his right hand and fired 4 consecutive shots.
Peng! Peng! Peng! Peng!
Just as the odachis of the 4 Enhancers were about to land on Waichi's body, their heads were instantly blasted into smithereens, blood and brain matter splattering onto the floor.
Yue Zhong's Agility was at 203 and he had a reaction speed 20 times of an ordinary person. This had already exceeded a Type 2 Lightning's speed. Even a Level 40 Agility-based Evolver could not surpass him. The speed of those 4 Enhancers might seem lightning-quick to most, but to Yue Zhong, they were as slow as ants.
"So strong!!" Waichi saw the fate of those Enhancers and sucked in a ragged breath, turning behind to look at the indifferent Yue Zhong. His eyes flashed with delight. If it wasn't for Yue Zhong, he would have already been halfway to heaven, his body dismembered.
Seeing how casually Yue Zhong had disposed of 4 Agility Enhancers, Masashi and the remaining 4 men had looks of disbelief on their faces, and they took a few steps back involuntarily.
Yue Zhong sat at his seat like a killing god and shot the intruders a cold glare: "Kneel down! Or die!"
Masashi immediately bowed down apologetically: "Esteemed one! I'm Kuwata Masashi from the Shimazu Clan, this time, we had unknowingly offended you, and incurred your wrath. We seek your mercy and magnanimity in allowing us to leave. Our Shimazu Clan will definitely offer you beautiful virgins and precious rations as a token of apology."
Masashi had brought his men intending to wipe out Waichi's faction, thinking that it would be a breeze. Only 8 of his subordinates were enough to overcome all of Waichi's forces. The only problem was that they could not have possibly foreseen the arrival of Yue Zhong.
"Go to hell!" Yue Zhong eyed the 5 of them coldly and fired another 5 shots with the Stinger.
Peng! Peng!
After 5 consecutive shots rang out, the heads of Masashi and his men were instantly blasted. Not a single person could react in time.
"Strong! So terrifying!" Waichi, Shin looked at Yue Zhong, who had fired without talking, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
They were excited because they had the backing of such a terrifying expert, any ordinary factions that dared to provoke them would be courting death. The fear, however, was that Yue Zhong was likely to kill more than he spoke, and they were truly terrified that Yue Zhong might just kill them without saying anything.
Shiroyuki and Asami who had been kneeling and watching saw the instantaneous deaths of those 9 intruders, had their bodies froze. They had just witnessed Yue Zhong's cold-blooded killing of the people from the Shimazu Clan and knew that if this person was provoked, even they would not be spared.
While most people thought of the modern Japanese man as gentle, in truth, many of them were still chauvinists. In this apocalypse, just like any other man who had given into their inner demons, many had become vile and perverse. There was no remorse in the slaughter. Back then, during the Rape of Nanking, many female corpses were carted out of the cities in trucks to be buried.
A subordinate covered in blood ran into the hall in an extremely pitiful state and hollered: "Sir!! Sir!! There're many intruders out there now! The Saishima, Keiwa and Yoshida factions have just brought their men over. The valley is already under attack, and they're charging in!"
"What?!" When Waichi heard those words, his face fell. They were still in the midst of a discussion on how to swallow those families, who would have thought they actually came to attack first.
"Sir! Please lend us a hand and eliminate those intruders!" Waichi got on his knees and begged Yue Zhong.
Every single one of those factions was individually more powerful than Waichi's faction, and now all 3 were attacking them at the same time!
"En!" Yue Zhong removed his left hand from Shiroyuki's kimono and stood up.
As he stood up, the floorboard suddenly split open, and a shadow appeared in a flash, striking at Yue Zhong's heart.
This shadow was the top assassin of the Shimazu Clan, a ninja that was Level 53. He was extremely skilled in the art of assassination, and even Level 60 or 70 Enhancers would not necessarily survive an assassination attempt of his.
"Watch out!!" Kyoko screamed out. In the entire hall, she was the only one that truly cared for his well-being.
"Will he die?" Shin looked at the ninja with a worried look. The assassin had appeared too suddenly, and Shin did not dare to guarantee that a Kami-sama level expert from Takama-ga-hara would be able to survive that assassination.
"Too slow!" Just as the ninja reached Yue Zhong, Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly and he sent an explosive fist towards the face of the ninja. A 10-times Strength came blasting into the ninja's face, breaking his nose and denting his head inwards. The ninja's body was sent flying through the hall and knocked into a wall, before sliding down and becoming motionless. He was dead.
Waichi could not help but shudder and thought to himself: "This guy's insane! Even this was not enough to take him out!! He's too scary!"
If it had been Waichi, his head would have already been separated from his body, before he even knew what was going on.
"Come with me!" Yue Zhong looked at Kyoko, before striding out the door.
"Yes!" Kyoko's eyes lit up in joy as she scampered after him.
Shin looked at Kyoko's back and his eyes had a strange look: "Seems like Kyoko does possess a position in his heart. Second only to that humanoid weapon on his back."
Yue Zhong walked out the villa, only to see a messy scene out in the valley. Many survivors were currently running towards the villa.
Every single militant that had intruded were vicious and cruel, laughing savagely as they killed the survivors who were trying to escape. Many of them grabbed women and tore their clothes off before proceeding to violate them.
There were many families living in the numerous wooden huts. Some women were also malnourished and weak, but it didn't matter to those militants. Those who weren't good looking were instead tortured by their weapons, and there were all sorts of maniacal laughter and screams of misery resounding throughout the valley.
The perverse militants didn't even spare any of the young girls or boys, taking off their clothes and raping them. There were a few militants who began setting fire to the wooden huts, causing them to burn up.
The entire valley looked like a scene right out of hell!

Chapter 545: Defeating the 3-clan alliance!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong looked at the cruel hell-like scene in front of him, as he pulled out his 2m-long Black Tooth Blade to slice a militant in front of him in two.
Yue Zhong ordered Shin beside him: "Go! Kill all the intruders!"
"Hai!" Shin and Waichi replied respectfully, and roared out loudly: "Kill all intruders!!"
Under Yue Zhong's orders, the combined forces of Shin and Waichi charged towards the militants who were currently raping women. The militants of the 3 factions were so engrossed in their vile acts that they lost all bearings of discipline.
Yue Zhong brought Kyoko as he continued outwards, not caring about the slaughter amongst the Japanese people. Any Enhancer or militant that took action against him would be instantly killed, their bodies sliced in two.
Yue Zhong's appearance was like an undefeatable general that stormed the battlefield, giving Shin, Waichi and their troops a boosted morale, while at the same time, pressurizing the enemies who tried to retreat when they could.
However, after a bout of shouts, 3 teams consisting of about 20 to 30 people suddenly appeared. Their moves were not ordinary, and they began to launch a counter attack on Shin and Waichi's forces.
"Enhancers!!" Yue Zhong saw those soldiers and his pupils constricted, recognizing that they were all Enhancers.
These 30 men were the joint elites of the Saishima, Keiwa and Yoshida factions. Everyone of them were above Level 20, and were the precious soldiers of the alliance. They were considered the trump cards as well.
Without hesitating, Yue Zhong activated his Shadow Steps and flew into the midst of one of the teams. His Black Tooth Blade began to swing around like a meat grinder, slicing all the Enhancers in a 5m-radius into two.
Within 10 seconds, 20 Enhancers were slaughtered, and the troops were basically annihilated by Yue Zhong, with the remaining soldiers trying to escape.
"Go to hell!!"
Among the Japanese, there were a few that were unafraid of death. They surrounded Yue Zhong, roaring in fury to disperse the fear in their hearts, as they charged at him.
Facing the kamikaze attacks of those 8 militants, Yue Zhong scoffed and unleashed 8 blade beams, instantly slicing the 8 militants apart. Fresh blood sprayed everywhere in a gory manner.
"Demon!!"
"He's a demon!!"
"Help!!"
Seeing how easily Yue Zhong killed 8 Agility-based Enhancers, the rest of the 3 teams got frightened out of their wits. They began to escape in various directions.
"Get on the ground!! Or you can die!!" Yue Zhong shot forwards and killed one escaping Enhancer, before barking loudly.
"Kneel! We'll kill those who disobey!!" Shin heard Yue Zhong's orders and immediately shouted out in Japanese.
"Kneel! We'll kill those who disobey!!"
On the battlefield, the Japanese troops under Yue Zhong began to shout across the battlefield.
The elites had been wiped out pitifully by Yue Zhong, causing the morale and spirit of the other soldiers to crumble. They hurriedly abandoned their weapon and got on the ground.
The Enhancers of the 3 factions also kneeled to surrender to Yue Zhong. They were after all ordinary people prior to the apocalypse, and lost their courage the moment death seemed inevitable.
There were both male and female Enhancers among the intruding troops of the Saishima, Keiwa and Yoshida factions. When the oppressed saw that their enemies had been subdued, they instantly surrounded the female Enhancers, and began to tear their clothes off to rape them on the spot.
Some of them were even perverse enough to grab an odachi to pierce some of the female Enhancers, cutting new wounds and causing moans of agony.
The tortured had become the torturers. In fact, they were even more vicious and cruel. Those female Enhancers were like top existences, which gave rise to a desire in the soldiers to torture them.
"Hahaha!!" One soldier was currently raping a woman while excitedly carving the woman's skin with his odachi. The woman was covered in bloody wounds, yet he continued to laugh with glee.
Yue Zhong frowned and immediately shot forward to behead the soldier, as a shower of blood splattered all over the Japanese woman.
The naked Japanese woman just laid there numbly, her eyes devoid of any emotions. She had already suffered plenty of humiliation at the hands of other men even before becoming an Enhancer. It was just a repeat of events to her.
However, the rest of the soldiers were all stunned when they saw Yue Zhong slaughtering his own subordinate, and stopped whatever they were doing, eyeing him helplessly.
Yue Zhong swept a gaze across the field as his cold voice rang out: "If you want women, sure. However, it must be through proper protocol. Before I assign any to you, they are all MY spoils of war. Whoever dares to use them, I will kill him!"
These militants weren't Chinese anyway, and Yue Zhong had no qualms killing them. Furthermore, even if they all decide to revolt, he was more than enough to wipe them out.
Hearing his words, the militants began dressing again, looking at the women somewhat unwillingly. Compared to the women, they valued their lives more. Furthermore, they knew that Yue Zhong himself had caused the defeat of the 3-clan alliance. He was practically a demon on the battlefield, and no one dared challenge his authority.
3 of the captives came in front of him and kneeled down as they spoke: "Sir!! I'm the head of Saishima/Keiwa/Yoshida Clan, Saishima Shohei/Keiwa Masataka/Shinji Yoshida! Today, we had unknowingly offended sir, and we seek your forgiveness. We're willing to pledge the allegiance of the Saishima/Keiwa/Yoshida factions and join your power!"
Waichi quickly came up to Yue Zhong and spoke urgently: "Sir!! They're not joining with good intentions! This is the time to kill them and assimilate their troops!"
The 3 clans were all larger than Waichi's factions, and he was afraid that once the 3 clans joined, they would become a faction larger than him, that was why he wanted to prevent that.
Of course, Waichi's suggestion was not wrong. If Yue Zhong really wanted to establish a faction that truly belonged to him in Japan, he had to wipe out the previous leaders and take in their subordinates.
When the 3 clan leaders heard Waichi's words, they were filled with hatred and killing intent towards him. However, they did not dare step out of line as they watched Yue Zhong carefully, unsure how he would deal with them.
Yue Zhong eyed Waichi coldly: "Waichi, when has it been your turn to make decisions for me?"
Waichi's heart turned cold and he immediately kneeled and kowtowed: "I apologize! Sir! Please forgive my mistake!!"
Yue Zhong glanced at the 3 leaders and spoke: "From today on, you 3 are my subordinates. Work hard for me, or you'll face death."
"Hai!" The 3 leaders responded in a resounding yes.
Yue Zhong asked: "Among you guys, who knows Chinese?"
"I do!" Saishima Shohei spoke up in slightly broken Chinese: "I was interested in the rich culture and history of China and its 5,000 years of heritage. When I was young, I had wanted to study in China, but unfortunately, I did not get the chance to."
Yue Zhong immediately gave an order: "Good! From today on, Saishima Shohei, Kira Waichi, Muto Shin and Ida Kyoko. You 4 will be the Elders of this establishment. Kyoko is the 1st Elder, Shin is the 2nd Elder, Waichi is the 3rd Elder and Shohei will be the 4th Elder. Keiwa Masataka and Shinji Yoshida will follow Kyoko."
"Many thanks Sir!" Shohei immediately bowed in gratitude. He was jubilant that his past decision to learn Chinese had paid off today, earning him a position in this faction.
The other 2 clan leaders were filled with envy.
Waichi felt sour in his heart as well: "Damn it! If only I knew Chinese as well. If I hadn't given Shiroyuki and Asami to Sir, I might not have even gotten this Elder position. I must work harder to learn Chinese and become a trusted aide of Yue Zhong-sama!"
Upon returning to the villa, Yue Zhong asked Shohei: "Was this operation instigated by the Shimazu Clan, Saishima-Head?"
Shohei looked at Yue Zhong and replied: "Yes! Sir! This time, it was the Shimazu Clan who ordered us to come. They had promised, that if we can conquer Waichi's faction, he would allow us to join the Shimazu clan, plus there would be no change to the our current control."
In this apocalypse, it was hard for the smaller factions to survive. If they could join a larger faction, and still retain their own troops and control, it was an attractive offer.
Of course, in doing so, there would be potential problems in the long run as well. The various factions within the larger faction could potentially overthrow the main power should they all ally together.
Yue Zhong thought for a while before asking: "What was the most recent activity on the Shimazu's side?"
Saishima Shohei gave an important intel to Yue Zhong: "Yama County is currently facing a strange movement from the zombie horde nearby. In 4 days, the horde will reach the base of the Shimazu Clan."

Chapter 546: Enjoyment
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Oh! So there was something like that!" Yue Zhong's eyebrows arched slightly, and he understood why the Shimazu Clan would suddenly recruit and absorb other factions.
A horde attack was a huge headache for any faction. Yue Zhong had fended off a number of hordes himself, and each time, the expenditure of ammo and casualties would cause him to be frustrated. Without enough manpower, he would have lost all of his troops. The Shimazu Clan obviously intended to gather the surrounding factions to fight off the horde together.
Yue Zhong then asked a few more questions before dismissing them: "You can go!"
"Hai!" Shohei and the rest left the room.
"Sir! The hot water in the bath is ready! Would you like to use it now?" After Shohei and the rest left, the voluptuous and beautiful Masako came in, asking respectfully.
Masako had been an instructor for females prior to the apocalypse, and she was well-versed in Japanese, Chinese, English, Russian, French, German and a few other languages. Conversing with Yue Zhong in Chinese was no problem for her.
"En! Take me there!" Yue Zhong had fought and killed a fair share of his enemies, and he needed a bath to wash off the blood.
Masako led Yue Zhong to the huge bathroom of the villa.
In the middle of the marble-paved flooring, there was a huge pool the size of 400sqm. There was even a small faux hill in the middle, where hot water would flow out from, filling the pool. The steam was very dense as it rose and filled up the room.
Within the pool, 8 beauties who were wrapped in towels were kneeling on the ground. When Yue Zhong entered the pool, they greeted him carefully: "Welcome Master!"
Shiroyuki and Asami also came in and kneeled down respectfully beside Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong spoke indifferently: "Shiroyuki and Asami can stay, the rest of you may go!"
"Hai!" Masako translated her words, and the rest of the maidservants left.
Shiroyuki and Asami came closer to Yue Zhong and began to undress him.
He slid into the hot water and felt comfortable almost immediately. The accumulated exhaustion in his body began to disappear.
Shiroyuki entered the pool and brought water up all over her full breasts, before soaping herself up and pressing against Yue Zhong's back to clean him with her body.
Asami on the other hand soaped Yue Zhong's legs and cleaned them thoroughly, before lowering her head to take in his toes into her small mouth. She began to use her tongue in short and sharp motions to clean them.
Yue Zhong, who had been relaxing with his eyes closed felt his toes entering a warm and moist area, and he opened his eyes, only to discover Asami servicing him.
"Is this a little too much?: He looked at how shamelessly Asami was cleaning his foot and felt his heart tremble. He might have been a dictator back at home and had many slaves to do his bidding, but he had never forced the other party to do something like this. No one would obviously help him clean his toes willingly.
However, the exquisite Asami had the looks of a Japanese idol from prior to the apocalypse, and seeing such a beautiful girl lowering herself to service him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement.
Yue Zhong struggled internally for a while, before deciding to just give in to the pleasure and enjoy her service: "Forget it! This isn't China anyway, and it might be their custom to do so. When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
Asami had undergone strict training and instruction from Masako. She continued to treat Yue Zhong's feet, while using coquettish eyes to shoot furtive glances at Yue Zhong. It was truly titillating, and it didn't seem like she was a virgin at all.
After thoroughly cleaning Yue Zhong's feet, she climbed up onto Yue Zhong, before grabbing onto his member, and taking the initiative to guide it into her.
Yue Zhong had not let himself go for a long time, and he naturally would not turn away someone who offered herself. He pushed her down beside the pool, and began to pound furiously.
Shiroyuki continued to use her voluptuous breasts to add to the excitement, while constantly rubbing his back.
Yue Zhong's constitution was far beyond any normal person, after being done with Asami, and leaving her limp on the ground, he reached for Shiroyuki and proceeded to pound her as well.
2 puddles of blood formed at the poolside.
Early the next morning, Yue Zhong opened his eyes to find the 2 beauties lying on either of his sides. Seeing them lying docilely in his embrace while sleeping, the tension in his shoulders and stress weighing on his mind was somewhat lifted.
After coming to Japan, Yue Zhong had been on alert at all times, and the pressure wasn't weak. Having released the pent up stress, he felt much better. After all, while his constitution was strong, stress was not something that could be recovered from if he kept at his activities all day long.
Yue Zhong wanted to return to China, and he required a broadcast station, an airplane, a pilot and fuel. Even with all these things, it was not a guaranteed journey. This was a stressful situation for him. Those resources were not easy to obtain, as small factions would not have them, and larger factions would definitely not give them up easily. After all, which faction would just lend such important resources out?
Yue Zhong had a few helicopters and every single one of them was precious to him. He wouldn't lend it to anyone. He was clear on how difficult it would be to obtain them.
Yue Zhong shifted slightly, and Shiroyuki was stirred awake: "Master! You're awake!"
"Master, you're truly energetic! Let me deal with that for you!" Her naked body felt the stir of a hot and stiff rod, and her eyes twinkled mischievously, before she dove under the covers. Lowering her head, she took Yue Zhong's member into her cherry-like lips.
Yue Zhong was also aroused by this exotic and alluring beauty, and immediately dover under the covers to enjoy her taste as well. Not long after, Asami also woke up and joined in the fray.
After having breakfast, Yue Zhong went out with Shohei towards the camps of the 3-clan alliance.
By that time, the alliance had already gathered all of their people into a small town, with a total of 1,200 people.
After gathering all these people, Shohei spoke: "Sir, these are all of our people."
Yue Zhong looked at at the 1,200 survivors and asked: "Any of you Chinese?"
Every single one of them kept silent.
Yue Zhong sighed lightly. He had intended to find some Chinese people he could trust. It seemed that the plan had to be scraped.
Shohei spoke up daringly: "Sir, if you want to find some Chinese people, the Shimazu Clan will most likely have them. I remember that there are over 200 Chinese survivors there."
"En! Go back!" Yue Zhong turned around and replied.
Shohei thus led the 1,200 survivors towards the valley.
Waichi's valley was spacious enough to accommodate over a thousand people. Even the villa itself could fit a few hundred people with no problems.
The moment they returned to the valley, Waichi came over and reported: "Sir! The Shimazu Clan had sent someone to negotiate with you. Would you like to see him?"
A tinge of excitement arose in Yue Zhong's heart: "Oh! The Shimazu Clan? Bring them in."
"Yes!"
An average-looking man in a suit came walking in, before kneeling respectfully in front of Yue Zhong. He spoke in Chinese: "I'm Tanaka Shiro from the Shimazu Clan, it is an honour to meet you, Yue Zhong-sama. Please forgive us for the offence last night."
The matter of Yue Zhong killing 9 Shimazu Clan members in a matter of seconds had spread throughout the entire clan within a night. Dealing with such an expert was a headache, hence they decided to send a diplomat over.
"This is a gift from us, we hope to appease your anger." Tanaka Shiro clapped his hands as 2 beauties entered from outside.
The older girl was about 17 or 18, and she had an alluring figure, with slight make-up on that accentuated her features. The younger girl was about 13 or 14, and her long hair was in a ponytail. She had long slender limbs, and surprisingly, a well-developed C-cup chest. Her face had large eyes and was pretty, it truly fit the description of a loli.
Tanaka Shiro spoke respectfully: "This is Yoshino Megumi, an idol before the apocalypse. She's 17 this year. This is her sister Yoshino Sayaka, 14 this year. They're both virgins, and we hope that they're to your liking."
The sisters were one of the top beauties in the Shimazu clan. They were saved to pull strong experts over to the Shimazu Clan. Few people could withstand such a tempting pair of sisters, especially when one of them used to be an idol.
Yue Zhong eyed Tanaka Shiro and spoke mildly: "I'll accept the gifts then. Yesterday's matters has come to a close. What else do you have for me?"
Tanaka Shiro quickly ordered the sisters: "Megumi, Sayaka, go over to your master!"
The pair of sisters kneeled in front of Yue Zhong and greeted: "Yoshino Megumi (Yoshino Sayaka), greets Master!"
Yue Zhong called out: "Masako, take them away!"
Masako came out and led the Yoshino sisters away.
Tanaka Shiro saw that Yue Zhong had accepted the 2 sisters and dived straight to the point: "Yue Zhong-sama, our Shimazu Clan hopes to form an alliance with you!"
When Yue Zhong heard his words, he replied without batting an eyelid: "Alliance? It's not impossible. What conditions do you guys have? If they are acceptable, I'll form an alliance with you!"

Chapter 547: Clash!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Tanaka Shiro handed over a photo album and a tablet to Yue Zhong and said: "Yue Zhong-sama, we're willing to give you a thousand ton of food, 10 beautiful virgins, 1 ton of fuel, 2 off-road vehicles. At the same time, as an expression of goodwill, our Shimazu Clan Leader would like to offer his daughter, Shimazu Mina's hand in marriage. This are her pictures and videos."
Yue Zhong flippee the album casually and checked out the tablet, and saw what Shimazu Mina was like.
She was a girl of about 14 to 15, and wore a faded yellow skirt and white cotton top. Although her figure was petite, she had explosive measurements, boasting a C-cup bust, fair skin, and an extraordinary aura. Her looks were graceful and refined, and when she smiled, it was truly charming.
Yue Zhong did not skip a beat and continued: "Add another 200 rifles and 20,000 rounds of ammunition!"
Tanaka Shiro replied: "Sir, I can only promise an additional 10 rifles and 1,000 rounds. However, we can provide 20 more virgins. As long as you agree to the alliance, we can still send more virgins from today onwards."
In this apocalyptic world, firearms were more important and precious compared to virgins. The Shimazu Clan was willing to hand over virgins rather than firearms to prevent Yue Zhong's military might from increasing.
Yue Zhong had no intentions of expanding in Japan anyway, and he directed the topic to his true aim: "Alright. I agree to those terms. However, I heard that you guys have a broadcast station. I would like to use it, there shouldn't be a problem right?"
Tanaka Shiro celebrated silently: "No problem! The details will have to be discussed at Yama county though, so we would like to invite you there. The broadcast station is there."
Yue Zhong turned to Waichi and Shohei, giving an order: "Alright! Waichi, Shohei, I'll follow Tanaka Shiro to Yama County. I leave this place to you guys."
"Hai!"
Waichi and Shohei were overjoyed and quickly bowed respectfully.
After making his arrangements, Yue Zhong organized 40 Enhancers of Level 20 and above into 2 groups, handing command of each group to Muto Shin and Ida Kyoko respectively. He brought Shiroyuki and Asami with him on the journey to Yama County.
Although the Shimazu Clan was known to control Yama County, in actual fact, they had conquered a small town nearby as their base. There were over 500,000 zombies gathered within Yama County and the Shimazu Clan had no way of taking care of them.
The town that was the Shimazu's base of operation was called Sakura Town. It used to hold over 30,000 people, hence it wasn't a problem for the 10,000-strong Shimazu Clan.
Prior to the apocalypse, Sakura Town was known for its hot springs, which had now turned to a huge giant spring. There were 6m-tall walls constructed around the town, surrounded by long rivers as well. The entire place had become some sort of fortress.
When Yue Zhong and the rest entered the town, they saw many survivors busy constructing defences. Men, women, the old and young alike, they were all hard at work. In order to face against the impending horde, everyone was working hard.
At this time, it was about lunch, and Yue Zhong could see the survivors lining up orderly to get their food.
Out of curiosity, Yue Zhong walked over to take a look, and discovered that the survivors were having porridge and wild leaf.
"The Shimazu Clan's resources should be thin as well." Yue Zhong eyed the food and the weak-looking survivors and came to a conclusion.
The problem of food was a large one that all factions had to face since the start of the apocalypse. Yue Zhong had managed to fight battle after battle because the number of survivors he had was less by over a 100 times. With enough resources from prior to the apocalypse, they were able to sustain themselves.
"Let go of me!! Let go of me!!" Just as Yue Zhong was observing the survivors, he heard Shiroyuki's voice from the side.
Yue Zhong frowned and turned, only to see a few youths with dyed hair and strange clothing surrounding Shiroyuki and Asami. The leader was a blond hair punk with piercings in his ears and nose. He was currently grabbing Shiroyuki's hands.
Muto Shin looked at the youth and his eyes flashed with a hint of fear, leading his men to face off against the rest of the youths.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with an icy look and he strided over.
Tanaka Shiro looked at the youth and called out to him anxiously: "Arai-kun! Quick let go of the woman! She's Yue Zhong-sama's woman!"
The youth was called Arai Fuji, and he was the successor to one of the 3 strong factions with the Shimazu clan, the Arai Clan. He had a good background and was an Evolver to boot. His level was above 45, and was a strong expert in the Shimazu Clan. Due to his strength, he had fearlessly snatched Shiroyuki from Muto Shin's side.
Arai Fuji roared with laughter as he made to grab Shiroyuki's breasts. He liked big-breasted women: "Yue Zhong, that China man? China dog?! What an idiot, he dared to come here, he's practically seeking death! I will kill him later, and take in all his women. Such a beauty, only I have the qualifications to enjoy!! Hahaha!"
Just as his hands were about to land on Shiroyuki's breasts, a flash of a blade swung by, and his right hand was removed cleanly from his arm, fresh blood splattering.
"Ah!!!" Arai Fuji could not help but screamed out.
"Go to hell! Your women will be mine!" Yue Zhong's gaze was icy cold as he swung his Black Tooth Blade, and Arai Fuji's head was immediately chopped off. Fresh blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the ground red.
Yue Zhong then pointed to the dozen of youths who had followed Arai Fuji and barked: "You fuckers, get down on your knees. Serve me, or you can die!"
This was Japan. It was not in China where Yue Zhong was unwilling to kill. However, the moment he acted, nothing could stop him.
Muto Shin immediately translated his words into Japanese.
"Kill him! Avenge Arai-kun!!"
"Everybody, charge together!! Kill him!!"
6 of the youths immediately shouted and charged at Yue Zhong, activating their abilities. They charged at Yue Zhong with a speed of about 6 to 7 times that of Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed, and he brought down the life-taking Black Tooth Blade a few more times, instantly slicing the assaulters in two. Their body parts flopped to the ground in huge showers of blood.
"Demon!! He's a demon!!"
"Demon!! He's a demon!! Too scary!!"
"Don't kill me!! Please!! Please don't kill me!"
The rest of the youths immediately got down on their knees and pleaded for their lives.
"Take me to the Arai clan!" Yue Zhong pointed at them with the Black Tooth Blade and barked out an order.
"Yes!! Sir!! Please come this way!!"
The youths stood up and began to lead Yue Zhong towards the Arai Clan.
Tanaka Shiro's face was pale white as he tried to advise Yue Zhong: "Yue Zhong-sama! The Arai family is one of the 3 strongest factions in the Shimazu Clan! Please reconsider, don't be rash! Let me go and discuss this with the leader. Please maintain your calm and do not antagonize the Arai family any longer!"
Arai Fuji was was a natural Evolver and he was just executed in cold blood by Yue Zhong. This was enough grounds for both parties to have an irreconcilable grudge. When he thought up to this point, Tanaka Shiro felt his head hurt. He had already guessed that Yue Zhong was not to be provoked, but he never expected that Yue Zhong had actually killed the Shimazu people in their own territory.
Yue Zhong's gaze was extremely icy as he walked over towards the Arai Clan: "Is this the way the Shimazu Clan welcomes its guests? I came here out of goodwill to be your ally, and there're people already intending to kill me and steal my women. Am I that easy to bully? Tanaka Shiro, save your breath! Today, I'll wipe out the Arai Clan!"
"Damn it!! How did it come to this, I need to report this to Shimazu-sama!" Tanaka Shiro's face fell, and he hurried towards the direction of the main Shimazu house.
"It's this place!!" One of the youths that submitted pointed to a luxurious place and told Yue Zhong.
"Charge in! Kill all those who don't kneel to surrender!" Yue Zhong shot forward like an arrow and killed the 2 guards with a swing of his Black Tooth Blade before shouting out the vicious order.
"Charge in! Kill all those who don't kneel to surrender!" Muto Shin followed in with bloodshot eyes. He was extremely clear that he had allowed Shiroyuki to be snatched, which caused Yue Zhong to be extremely unhappy. If he didn't perform better, his position beside Yue Zhong would definitely plummet.
Yue Zhong charged into the Arai house and immediately felt a sense of danger. He leaped towards the left.
A sniper bullet fired at where Yue Zhong was, if he had been the slightest bit slower, his brain might have been penetrated. Apparently there was a sniper protecting the family. Their position was not simple.
Yue Zhong lifted his head towards the direction of the sniper and shot out a ball of Devil Flame. It instantly incinerated the entire bunker, turning the sniper inside into ash.
"Who are you people, you dare attack the Arai Clan?!" Motoki Shiro, a Level 56 expert came charging into the villa, leading 20 Enhancers of above Level 30. He roared furiously when he saw Muto Shin and the rest massacring the people in the Arai Clan.

Chapter 548 – Annihilating the Arai Clan!
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: ZNC
"Kill all of the people!" Yue Zhong's eyes blazed, and he activated his Shadow Steps. His speed instantly soared, exceeding a Type 2 Lightning. He disappeared and appeared right in front of Motoki Shiro in a flash, slashing at him.
Yue Zhong's speed had vastly surpassed that of a Type 2 Lightning. Even some weaker Type 3 Mutant Beasts might not be able to contend with him. That single slash of his was as fast as lightning, and Motoki Shiro did not even have time to react nor cast his own ability. His head was separated from his body in a shower of blood.
"Who is this guy?"
"Lord Motoki had been killed in just a second!!"
"Is he a demon?"
Seeing the strongest expert of the Arai Clan taken out in one strike, the soldiers present felt a chill in their hearts and lost their will to fight in an instant.
Initially, if these 20 Level 30 Enhancers were to give their all, even if they were ultimately disposed of by Yue Zhong, they would still be enough to create some trouble for him. However, in that display of strength, they immediately fell on their knees, without a single shred of their courage or confidence.
"Clan Lord-sama, things are bad!! Yue Zhong is killing his way in! Lord Motoki Shiro has been killed by him in a single move!" One servant ran into a bedroom and reported anxiously to a middle-aged man. This middle-aged man was precisely the patriarch of the Arai Clan, Arai Onikiri.
Arai Onikiri's face fell as he threw the 12-year-old girl in his embrace onto the floor, shouting: "What?! Motoki Shiro is dead? How is that possible?!"
Motoki Shiro was the top expert of the Arai Clan, and Arai Onikiri just couldn't believe that he would be killed by someone else.
"He's dead, you're next." Yue Zhong stepped in at this moment, his gaze traveled from Arai Onikiri to the little girl beside him whose body was riddled with bite marks and eyes were devoid of emotions. Yue Zhong's killing intent intensified.
Arai Onikiri frowned and asked Yue Zhong without his usual overbearing tone: "You must be Yue Zhong! I'm Arai Onikiri of the Arai Clan. This is the first time we've met. We have no grudge, why have you suddenly charged in to kill my clan members? This is the Shimazu territory, do you think you'll get away with this?"
Yue Zhong stepped forward and his blade swung down, causing the head of Arai Onikiri to soar through the air. A hot shower of blood sprayed everywhere, dying the room red.
Yue Zhong looked at the headless corpse and spat coldly: "You talk too much. Today, I'm using your head to establish my position."
"Don't kill me! I'll let you do what you want. Please don't hit me. Don't hit me! I'm a dog! I'm a bitch! Rarff! Rarff! Rarff!" The little girl saw Arai Onikiri's corpse and fear flashed in her eyes. She crawled towards Yue Zhong's feet like a dog and pleaded while barking.
Arai Onikiri was also a pervert and loved to torment young girls. It seemed that this young girl was one of his victims.
Yue Zhong eyed the little girl, noticing that her eyes were large and her skin was fair. Her body was frail and small, and her limbs looked like they would break at any moment. Her features were delicate and her bust was already well-developed, looking like a pair of buns. She was a pretty loli.
Yue Zhong looked at the trembling girl and frowned before using Japanese: "Stand up!"
"Hai!" The girl got up shakingly, looking at Yue Zhong with fear.
"Put on some clothes and come with me!" Yue Zhong threw her a set of clothes before turning around to leave the room.
The girl received the clothes and stood silently behind Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong asked: "What's your name?"
The Japanese loli began to speak: "I'm Ogura Reiya. 12 this year. 5 days ago, my mother and I were captured by Arai Onikiri. After 5 days of training, I was sent today to service Arai Onikiri-sama. I haven't been here long, and wasn't humiliated yet by Arai Onikiri-sama, before you appeared, Sir."
"Where's your mother?"
Ogura Reiya's face turned pale and her expression instantly became depressed, as tears welled up in her eyes: "She's already dead."
Ogura Reiya's mother had provoked Arai Onikiri, who had ordered for her to be tortured to death. Little Reiya had seen her mother's death with her own eyes, that was why she had lost all spirit and was forced to become like a dog for Arai Onikiri.
As Japan was well known for its AV, there were many positions of 'instructors'. In fact, these instructors were similar to the ancient China's mamasan or pimp. It was just that with the modernization of society, such roles were much lesser now.
Yue Zhong took the information in and spoke mildly: "The dead are already dead. The living has to continue living. Move on!"
After all, he had seen his fair share of stories. Reiya's story was just one of too many.
Reiya wiped her eyes and looked at Yue Zhong, speaking innocently: "Hai! I understand. Today, you saved me. From today on, Ogura Reiya is Sir's slave and bitch."
Reiya had experienced the cruel nature of the apocalyptic world. She knew that only by relying on an expert, would one be able to live on. After all, living like a slave of an expert was much better than living like an ordinary survivor.
"Alright!" Yue Zhong could tell what Reiya was thinking but he didn't reject her. In this world, even if he did not allow her to be by his side, she would rely on others. Those without strength would have to live like that.
After Motoki Shiro and Arai Onikiri had been slaughtered by Yue Zhong, the entire Arai family collapsed. There were many experts and elite soldiers, but the moment Muto Shin raised the decapitated heads of their leaders, the rest of the elites immediately surrendered.
There were a few stubborn ones, so Yue Zhong made short work of them.
Not long after, the Arai Clan settled down. However, there were numerous corpses lying about, and fresh blood dyed every part of this lavish dwelling. Many of the Arai Clan members had been tied up as captives and were kneeling on the ground.
Outside the Arai Clan, an entire armed battalion, together with 36 armored vehicles, 12 tanks, and 12 assault helicopters had surrounded the premise.
This was the trump card of the Shimazu Clan. It was a modern army. The Shimazu Clan had managed to bring the town under its control and established itself as a major power because of their equipment. Just their elite battalion alone was enough to deal with many Enhancers.
Prior to the apocalypse, although Japan was not allowed to have aircraft carriers or nuclear weapons, their self-defense forces were pretty well equipped.
The troops had surrounded the Arai Clan's premises but did not charge in. Instead, they were facing off against Muto Shin's forces.
Right at this time, Yue Zhong walked out of the villa, and his cold voice rang out: "What's the meaning of this? You want to start a war with me?"
The moment the soldiers saw Yue Zhong, every one of them felt a chill. They could not help but raise their weapons against him. Their intuition told them that this man was dangerous.
Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed and he leaped forward, his killing intent billowing towards the sky: "You guys dare to raise your weapons against me! Do you want to force me? Good! Let me show you what a massacre is!"
The dozen of elite soldiers closest to him was immediately affected by Yue Zhong's powerful killing intent and involuntarily stepped back. Their faces were pale.
Right at this time, Tanaka Shiro came running out full of perspiration as he shouted: "Stop!! Yue Zhong-sama! We don't mean that! Please, calm down!"
He was extremely clear about Yue Zhong's terrifying temper. The experts in the Arai Clan were numerous but had been easily controlled by him the moment he charged in. Even Motoki Shiro had been sliced in one move. Such an expert was sure to have numerous trump cards. Even if in the unlikely scenario that the Shimazu Clan brings him down, they would have to suffer incredible losses as well.
If such a thing were to happen, Tanaka Shiro knew that the Shimazu head would not let him off. As for the deployment of the elite forces, it was to show their might, the Shimazu Clan had no intention of actually attacking Yue Zhong.
"Lower your weapons!" Tanaka Shiro shouted out.
The soldiers immediately lowered their weapons.
"Hmph!" Yue Zhong scoffed coldly and kept his Black Tooth Blade back on his back. He had no intention of fighting to the death with the Shimazu Clan anyway. After all, if both sides were to really fight, other than Yue Zhong, the rest would definitely die.
Tanaka Shiro walked towards Yue Zhong and spoke respectfully: "Yue Zhong-sama, the Clan Leader would like to see you. Please follow me."
Seeing for oneself is better than hearing from a hundred others. Tanaka Shiro had finally seen how terrifying Yue Zhong was, and he became even more respectful. The Japanese were a proud race, but they knew when to yield. In the case of World War II, the Japanese had only surrendered after the 2 bombs had devastated a huge part of their nation. They had then become docile. Of course, if America became weak, then it would be a different story.
The Shimazu Clan was located at a deep part of Sakura Town, in a huge but ancient-looking estate. Many of the rich and powerful liked to live in large and spacious but traditional buildings. Of course, in places like Tokyo, where land was scarce, it was harder to have such luxury. However, such building architecture and design would be common in the smaller towns.
Under Tanaka Shiro's guidance, Yue Zhong and Kyoko walked through a number of corridors and passages before arriving at the center of the mansion.

Chapter 549 – Alliance!
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: ZNC
Inside a large hall, sat an old but fit man who was about 56 years old. He had a short buzz cut and was wearing a kimono. Beside the old man, there was a beautiful young lady in a kimono, kneeling and grinding tea leaves.
The old man looked at Yue Zhong and had slight smile: "I'm Shimazu Yuji. Yue Zhong, I'm very pleased to meet you here. Please! Sit!"
"How do you do!" Yue Zhong eyed this leader of the Shimazu Clan and sat down comfortably. He was not used to the Japanese style of kneeling.
"This is for you!" The young beauty served cups of tea to both Yue Zhong and Kyoko.
"Thank you!" Yue Zhong received the cup of tea and placed it on the side without drinking it. He might be strong, but he wasn't entirely impervious to poison. There were all sorts of mutated plants in the apocalypse and he would die if he was poisoned as well.
Shimazu Yuji pointed at the young girl and said: "This is my daughter, Shimazu Mina. Mina, go greet your husband."
Shimazu Mina came in front of Yue Zhong and bowed elegantly, before speaking in a graceful manner: "Yue Zhong-sama, this Miss is lacking in many areas, I seek your guidance in the future."
"Good! Get up!" He nodded slightly at Shimazu Mina, before turning to face Shimazu Yuji: "Shimazu Clan Head, is there something important since you called me here?"
Shimazu Mina adjusted her position slightly, kneeling beside Yue Zhong like she was already his wife. Since she had been brought up with certain etiquettes, she was clear on what she had to do.
Shimazu Yuji looked at Yue Zhong and smiled with affection: "You still call me the Shimazu Clan Head? Isn't 'Father-in-law' better?"
Yue Zhong chuckled: "Shimazu Clan Head, I reckon that it's only right to call you that after we've gone through with the rites."
Even if it was a political marriage, getting Yue Zhong to suddenly call a stranger his father-in-law was strange.
Shimazu Fuji looked at Yue Zhong and his smile slowly receded, only to be replaced by a serious look: "That is acceptable. However, even if there was a reason for your actions, wiping out the Arai clan was too much."
Yue Zhong did not miss a beat and asked: "Well things happened that way Shimazu Clan Head, what do you intend to do?"
Shimazu Fuji's face was full of smiles again as he suggested: "The Arai Clan was an important strength in our Shimazu Clan. The zombies in Yama County will invade soon. Having lost the Arai clan is equivalent to losing a huge part of our strength. Yue Zhong, I hope that you can bring your men to help protect this town. If you can promise me this, the past matters will be treated as a misunderstanding!"
Since the Arai Clan was wiped out by Yue Zhong, Shimazu Fuji was naturally filled with anger. However, as the Clan Lord, he could not just allow his anger to cloud his judgment. If they could get the assistance of Yue Zhong, then their battle prowess would increase to a terrifying level. As long as they could deal with this threat, they would be able to expand further in the future.
In the face of such a critical situation, Shimazu Fuji was unwilling to make an enemy out of Yue Zhong whose strength was truly unfathomable.
Yue Zhong's eyes narrowed and he stated his conditions: "Sure! But, I want all of the Chinese survivors in the Shimazu Clan."
After coming to Japan, although Yue Zhong had recruited Shin and Waichi, they were not trustworthy yet.
Yue Zhong had no means of seeing through the thoughts of a person, but he was extremely clear. The Japanese were only submissive to him because of his strength. If something were to go wrong, they would definitely betray him at the first moment. This was why he wanted to have the Chinese survivors in the Shimazu Clan.
There was a strange glint in Shimazu Fuji's eyes, as he spoke: "The Chinese survivors? Sure! I can give them all to you. Mina, go lead him to the Chinese survivors."
Shimazu Mina stood up and brought a whiff of fragrance as she revealed a beautiful smile to Yue Zhong: "Yes, Otou-sama! Otto-sama, please come with me."
(Otou = Father. Otto = Husband.)
Yue Zhong returned Shimazu Mina's smile and followed the beautiful lady out.
The moment they left the room, Shimazu Fuji's expression sunk, as the wrinkles on his face became even more pronounced. His eyes held a dangerous and grim look.
After a while, he regained his composure, and spoke to a shadow in the corner: "Yamada, what do you think?"
From the corner, a person wrapped tightly in black stepped out, only his eyes were visible. A ninja from the legends stepped out and appeared beside Shimazu Fuji. This ninja-like person was the trump card and the strongest assassin of the Shimazu Clan, Yamada Ichiuma. His level was above 58, and he was an Agility-based Evolver.
Yamada Ichiuma was the strongest expert of the Shimazu Clan, and he had contributed greatly to them.
He spoke in a cold and harsh tone: "Sir! He's extremely strong! Furthermore, he was vigilant at all times. If we were to clash, I would only be able to last 5 minutes. If it were an assassination, I only have 30% confidence of succeeding."
"Only 30? Too little!" Shimazu Fuji frowned. He disliked the fact that there was a foreigner with immense strength running amok.
Yamada Ichiuma's evaluation of Yue Zhong was extremely high: "This is also under the assumption that he's at his least cautious state. Only then will there be a 30% chance. If he were to maintain his vigilance, I wouldn't even be able to get within 20m of him."
Yamada Ichiuma had assassinated numerous experts. He had killed his fair share of Mutant Beasts and high-level zombies. That was how he was capable of comprehending the pressure Yue Zhong gave him. It was an intuition molded by experiencing countless battles.
Shimazu Fuji waved his hands: "Dismissed!"
"Hai!" Yamada Ichiuma swiftly disappeared into the shadows again.
Shimazu Fuji pressed a button by his side and a beautiful Japanese woman appeared, kneeling by his side.
Shimazu Fuji eyed the beauty and ordered: "Noriko, convey my orders! Tell everybody of the Shimazu Clan to not offend this Yue Zhong. Try to become friends with him."
This beautiful Japanese lady was called Iwa Noriko, and she was one of the beautiful women kept by Shimazu Fuji after the apocalypse. She was dignified and well versed in customs, and was one of the overseeing members of the Shimazu Clan.
"Hai!" Iwa Noriko bowed respectfully and left.
"Since we can't afford to make him an enemy, we can only try to be friends!"
After Noriko left, Shimazu Fuji's sullen voice resounded softly in the room.
Inside a warehouse that was converted into a prison, 30 Japanese were currently keeping guard over the prisoners.
"Crawl faster!! Crawl faster!!"
"Fuck!! Bitch No. 1, you better fucking crawl faster! Otherwise, you can forget about eating!"
Amidst the cruel laughter of the Japanese, 6 women with scars all over their bodies were crawling on the ground, scrambling to reach a white line on the ground.
All around the prison, there were over 200 Chinese survivors with wooden expressions.
This was one of the programs, Horse Run, that pit the women survivors against one another in a race. The last 2 contestants would usually be fed dirty water and scarce dog food. And the front 4 would be fed normal water and scarce dog food.
As the Japanese laughed, one of the naked women rushed past the finishing line and fell to the ground. As she gasped for air, she croaked out in Japanese: "Water! Food!"
One of the Japanese kicked out at the woman with a savage glint, before taking off his pants and peeing on her face: "Stinking bitch!! Why'd you crawl so fast, you caused me to lose a cigarette! Since you want water!! This is for you!! Open up!! Drink it all!!"
The Chinese woman whose looks were considered decent opened her mouth numbly, accepting the revolting pee.
The Japanese man roared out in laughter: "Hahaha! Look! Everybody, this woman actually drinks pee!! The Chinese are truly wretched!! What a bunch of sluts!! They're just like dogs! No, they're worse than dogs! Haha!"
The rest of the Japanese laughed out as well. Tormenting the women was their source of entertainment, after all, many would go insane from the apocalypse.
There was a woman amongst the survivors who was listening to the surrounding laughter. Her name was Jin Li. She was a Shanghai student who was enamored with the Japanese culture. She always felt that the Japanese were better than the Chinese, and had intended to marry a Japanese. After she graduated, she moved over to Japan in the hopes of living her dreams.
However, the Japanese man that Jin Li was seeing soon swindled her out of her money, selling her to the adult industry. Jin Li had no friends nor family to rely on and was reduced to a wretched state.
After the apocalypse set in, while the lands were filled with zombies, she relied on selling her body to rely on experts. She managed to survive like that before ending up in the Shimazu Clan as a toy.
5 Japanese went into the cell and took off their clothes before proceeding to rape some of the women.
"Get the hell over here!" One of the soldiers walked through the survivors and his eyes suddenly lit up, as he grabbed a young girl who was about 11 to 12 years old. The child's face was full of dirt and grime, her hair was messy, and there was even a putrid smell on her.
"Let go of my child!!!" A skinny male survivor screamed out as he shoved the soldier away.

"Baka!! Go to hell!" The Japanese soldier was enraged and used the butt of his rifle to smash the stomach of the skinny survivor, causing him to kneel down, with his body bent over in pain.
(Baka = Idiot)
"Daddy!!" The child who was grabbed immediately shouted shrillingly.
"Go to hell!" The Japanese soldier laughed cruelly and stabbed at the male survivor with his rifle, penetrating his abdomen and stabbing through the intestines.
The little child immediately wailed with bloodshot eyes, her voice was heart wrenching: "Daddy!! Daddy!! Daddy!! No!!"
The man whose intestines were slashed lifted his head to look at his child, reaching out as if he wanted to grab her. He loved his child very much and wanted to look at her once more before he died.
"Daddy! Daddy!! Daddy!!" The kid cried out as she struggled madly like an injured beast. Her screams were pitiful and caused one's heart to clench in sorrow.
The 200 Chinese survivors lowered their heads silently, not bearing to watch this scene. The soldiers were cruel, and if they were to speak up, they would definitely be killed. In this apocalypse, human lives were treated like ants. In Japan, the Chinese led lives that were wretched.
There was a lot of right-wing movement prior to the apocalypse, and there were many anti-Chinese sentiments.
Many wished that they could rid their nation of the Chinese. However, since there were societal norms and measures in place, no one could just brazenly indulge in their exclusion or xenophobic behavior.
However, after the apocalypse happened, the Chinese in Japan became the lowest life forms. Many of the Japanese were already cruel enough to their own people, and it was needless to speak of the fate of the Chinese that they hated.
"Chinese dog, die!" The Japanese soldier watched the struggling little kid and licked his lips somewhat excitedly, before pointing his rifle at the middle-aged Chinese man's head and pulling the trigger.
Following the loud sound of gunfire, a bullet hole appeared in between the brows of the man. His eyes lost the light of life, and he crumpled to the floor. His vacant eyes were still staring in the direction of the child.
"Daddy!!!!" The child watched the cruel death of her father and wailed out in a heartbreaking scream, her eyes losing all will as she stopped struggling as well.
"Hahahaha!!" The Japanese soldier immediately threw the rifle in his hand to one side and reached to tear the clothes off the kid.
Just as his hands were about to come in contact with the child, there was a gunshot, and the right hand of the Japanese soldier was immediately blasted.
"Ah!!! Ah!!" The soldier screamed at the sight of his missing right hand with immense agony.
Right as the gunshot fired, the rest of the Japanese soldiers who were raping the other women immediately became alarmed and turned their heads towards the source of the gunshot.
At the entrance, Yue Zhong walked in with a frosty expression.
Yue Zhong looked at the soldiers who were pointing at him with their rifles, his eyes blazing with a strong killing intent: "Put down your weapons, or die!"
Shimazu Mina walked out from behind Yue Zhong and swiftly barked out in Japanese: "I'm the Shimazu Clan's princess, Shimazu Mina. I'm ordering you all to put down your weapons. This person here is my fiance and your future leader. Pointing your weapon at him is a huge crime!"
Although she looked demure and harmless, in truth, she was an extremely capable person.
If she wasn't a girl, Shimazu Fuji would have definitely passed the reins of the family to her. She understood that the rage of Yue Zhong would cost the lives of all of the Japanese soldiers here.
Under her orders, the Japanese soldiers hesitated a while before lowering their weapons. They did not dare to refute the orders of the princess of the clan.
"Baka!!! Go to hell!!" The soldier who was injured by Yue Zhong charged at him due to his blind rage.
Yue Zhong raised his right hand and grabbed the face of the Japanese soldier and threw him down like a broken rag doll. He then stepped on the back of the soldier, exerting a mountain-like pressure.
He looked at the scrawny kid, and asked coldly: "Rascal! Do you want to avenge your father?"
The little kid understood vengeance, and the originally soulless eyes of hers stirred, as she immediately knelt in front of Yue Zhong and shouted in Chinese: "I want!! I want revenge!! I want revenge!! Uncle!! Please help me!!"
Yue Zhong handed a .54 pistol to her and said: "As long as you swear fealty, this gun is yours! Take it and fire at this scum here, your wish will be fulfilled."
The kid received the gun and immediately pointed it at the Japanese soldier.
"Baka!! What do you think you're doing?!" The rest of the soldiers shouted out in alarm and raised their guns, not willing to see their comrade being killed.
Yue Zhong swiftly raised his hand and fired consecutively, as a few rounds found their target in the soldiers' heads.
A number of the Japanese soldiers immediately fell down dead, with bullet holes in their heads.
Shimazu Mina witnessed dozens of the soldiers dying at Yue Zhong's hands and her face fell, immediately kneeling in front of Yue Zhong and pleaded: "Stop!! Otto-sama, please calm down!! Please calm down!!"
Every death signified a decrease in the Shimazu Clan's strength. Furthermore, Shimazu Mina did not want to see any more conflict between this terrifying Chinese man and her subordinates.
Yue Zhong's action of killing those Japanese soldiers in a split second shocked the rest of the soldiers, as they eyed him with renewed fear and horror, not daring to make any movements.
Seeing them all recoil in shock, Yue Zhong stopped, and his gaze landed on the kid.
"Beast! Die!" The kid screamed at the Japanese soldier with rage and squeezed the trigger while gritting her teeth.
Following the gunshot, a bullet hole appeared in the head of the Japanese soldier.
The kid was also injured by the recoil of the gun, falling down onto the floor. However, she still held onto the pistol tightly and stubbornly, as her eyes filled with a savage bloodlust.
At the next instant, the kid turned pale and vomited. After throwing up some of her stomach acids, she crumpled onto the floor, with her body flushing red.
"Fever?" Yue Zhong shot forwards and felt her forehead, feeling a burning temperature.
Yue Zhong carried the smelly and dirty child, and handed her to Kyoko: "Kyoko! Go take this rascal back and clean her up, then arrange for her to rest. Give her some medicine as well."
"Yes!" Kyoko hugged the child and left.
After settling the issue of the kid, Yue Zhong turned to face the other 200 survivors in the prison.
There were about 50 men while the rest consisted of women and children. In this apocalypse, as foreigners, men were more likely killed, and as long as the women were not too ugly, they would be caught and used as tools.
Yue Zhong eyed them with a complicated gaze, saying: "I'm Yue Zhong and I'm from China. If you're willing to swear loyalty to me, follow me. As long as you're loyal, I will feed you and give you your dignity. You will live your lives with pride. Those who are willing, stand on my left. Those who aren't, you can stay where you are, or stand to my right. I'm giving you 20 seconds! 20…"
Hearing his words, the 200 survivors glanced at the Japanese soldiers with fear, not daring to move immediately. They feared that it was a trap and that they would fall into the tiger's mouth upon leaving the wolf's den.
Yue Zhong saw this and his heart sank. He never imagined for them to be so weak-willed. He had come to rescue them, and these bastards were still hesitating.
When he reached 5, one man gritted his teeth and hurriedly stood on Yue Zhong's left. The man's action stirred the rest, as a number of the survivors stood up and immediately went over.
After his countdown, Yue Zhong threw the rest of the survivors who stayed, including Jin Li, a complex but grim look. There were about 60 survivors who stayed still or stood on his right.
"Let's go!" Yue Zhong eyed them coldly, before turning around to leave.
Shimazu Mina walked by his side and pointed at those who stayed, asking: "What do we do with them?"
"Deal with them however you like. They have nothing to do with me." His eyes flashed with a cold and ruthless look. Since they were willing to stay as slaves and dogs, he didn't want to force them to do anything else.
Jin Li looked at those who were leaving and her shrill voice rang out: "Don't trust him! That Chinese is lying to you! Only the Japanese are good people!! The Japanese are better than the Chinese!!"

Chapter 551 – 5 Evolvers!
Translated by: Kun
Edited by: ZNC
The Japanese were better than the Chinese. This thought had long since become the only truth to Jin Li. If this belief had crumbled, she initially wouldn't have sold her body to work in Japan. All of her actions leading up to her marriage with a Japanese would also have been meaningless. Even if she became just a piece of meat to be toyed with, she would hang on to that motto. Furthermore, she hoped that the Japanese soldiers would treat her better if she stood up for them. At the very least, they might give her clean water and bread.
"Baka!! Shut up!! Stupid bitch!! Damn piece of meat, who allowed you to speak!!" One Japanese soldier immediately lashed out viciously, smacking Jin Li in her mouth. He was afraid that her words might anger that killing devil and hurried to shut her up.
Jin Li rolled onto the ground, with a few of her teeth knocked out. After being treated mercilessly, her belief and support were decimated and crumbled instantly. She finally lost her mind and turned into a maniac, muttering: "Japanese… superior, I want to marry… a Japanese…"
"Save me!! Yue Zhong!! I'm willing to follow you!!"
"I'm willing to swear loyalty! Save me!!"
Those who were hesitating previously looked at Jin Li and her wretched state, and a chill came over their hearts. They hurried to beg for Yue Zhong to take them in.
Yue Zhong looked at them indifferently as he left a statement: "I only give one chance. Since you guys didn't cherish it, don't blame me."
"Let's go!"
Yue Zhong turned around and together with Shimazu Mina, they led the survivors out. The survivors followed closely in fear of being abandoned. In Japan, they only have this one guy to count on.
"Haha! Get down, raise your asses!!" The moment Yue Zhong and the rest left, the remaining Japanese soldiers immediately went straight to torturing the survivors that were left behind. They wanted to vent their frustration, fear, and anger of the deaths of their comrades on these damn Chinese people. Only by doing so would they feel like they have regained some form of control over their lives.
Shimazu Mina was very efficient and quickly arranged accommodations for Yue Zhong and the other survivors. She even got people to send clean water and bread to the survivors.
As the survivors bit into their food and drank their water, every single one of them shed tears. It was just simple bread and water, but to them, it was the greatest meal they've ever had. After all, they had been at the mercy of the Japanese soldiers in the prison and were even forced to consume urine and expired dog food.
Yue Zhong asked the first man who joined him: "What's your name? What's your occupation before the apocalypse?"
The guy was an average-looking male, with a knowledgeable look and scholarly aura. He heard Yue Zhong's question and immediately replied: "Sir, I'm called Yuan Tian Gang! I used to be a senior engineer in the field of optoelectronics."
(Optoelectronics: Branch of technology concerned with the combined use of electronics and light.)
"A senior engineer in optoelectronics?" Yue Zhong's eyebrows arched slightly. This was a rare talent, if he had this man on board his research team in Gui Ning, the development of the laser gun technology would likely be propelled.
Yue Zhong continued: "Amongst the rest of them, are there any men like you?"
Yuan Tian Gang pondered for a moment before shaking his head: "Not that I know of! There should only be me."
Yue Zhong then spoke: "En! I will assign someone to train you guys in combat. From now on, no matter what any of you were, that is in the past. Work hard towards becoming a soldier now. Go tell the rest and let them make their mental preparations."
Yuan Tian Gang replied with respect, feeling a chill in his heart: "Yes!"
Yuan Tian Gang was extremely clear that in this current society, scientists could not be compared with farmers. To a weak faction, a scientist was not as useful as a soldier.
After hesitating for a while, Yuan Tian Gang approached Yue Zhong: "Sir, there's something else!"
"Speak!"
He was somewhat uncomfortable as he continued: "Among the people that were captured by the Shimazu Clan, there's an expert in the field of kinetics and an expert in the study of composite armor. They were both taken by the Shimazu Clan. I'm not sure if this news will be of any use to you."
"Kinetics! Composite Armor! Did the Shimazu obtain some technological blueprint?" Yue Zhong came to a conjecture when he heard those words.
Yue Zhong chuckled lightly and handed a vial of Evolving Liquid to Yuan Tian Gang: "Good!! This news was vital to me. I appreciate the loyalty, and I will definitely not disappoint those who are loyal. This is an Evolving Liquid. After consumption, you will become a powerful Evolver."
"Many thanks, Sir! I will definitely serve you with my life!" Yuan Tian Gang knew that Yue Zhong didn't need to resort to any tricks to kill him. Upon receiving the liquid, he saluted Yue Zhong, before dumping the contents of the vial into his mouth.
The moment the liquid entered his body, he fell into a feverish state.
"Kyoko!! This is an Evolving Liquid. Drink it and you'll become an Evolver." Yue Zhong beckoned for Kyoko and handed her a vial as well.
Ida Kyoko received it and held it firmly, bowing once more to Yue Zhong before saying: "Thank you for your gift, Master!"
In this apocalypse, immense strength was everything. Kyoko knew the value and preciousness of the Evolving Liquid in her hands. If she brought this out to sell, it would be enough to exchange for an entire city. Evolvers were after all, in a different league compared to Enhancers.
After gifting Kyoko with the Evolving Liquid, Yue Zhong also gave 2 others to Shiroyuki and Asami, allowing them to also evolve.
Yue Zhong lacked powerful subordinates now, and there were only 500 vials on his hand. However, in one night, he gained 5 more Evolvers at hand. Their loyalty was the only big question now.
Yue Zhong was unwilling to squander this precious liquid on Japanese men. This was because he found it hard to trust them.
Inside a room in the Arai Clan, there were 2 pretty maids in kimonos waiting to serve.
The moment Yue Zhong stepped into the room, he saw a number of beautiful lolis of ages 9 to 15 kneeling and speaking in unison: "Welcome home, Master!"
(There were also a few other terms used such as Brother, Uncle, Daddy, and Big Brother)
These lolis were all kept by Arai Onikiri as play toys. They were all beautiful, and amongst them, there were 2 of his biological daughters. They had become Yue Zhong's spoils of war as well.
Ogura Reiya wore a white shirt and yellow skirt, and a pair of white and pink shoes. She ran up to Yue Zhong and kneeled: "Master! You're back! Welcome home!"
Yue Zhong eyed the lolis, as his brows arched: "Dismiss them!"
Ogura smiled sweetly at him, before turning around and ordering the rest with a wooden expression: "Yes! All of you are dismissed!"
Under her orders, the rest trudged out somewhat unwillingly. Although they were young, they knew the cruelty of the current world. Without someone strong to rely on, their fates will most likely become unbearable.
Yue Zhong walked over to the bed and saw a short-haired girl with beautiful features and fair skin lying on the bed.
Yue Zhong frowned: "She's a girl?"
Ogura came up and replied: "Yes! She's a little girl."
The girl struggled a while before she opened her eyes, somewhat disoriented. She then looked at Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong's sensitive perception could tell that the girl was different. His gaze narrowed and he asked: "I'm Yue Zhong. What's your name? Have you evolved? What's the skill you've obtained?"
"My name is Feng Yu Bing. I've evolved, and I am a Spirit-based Evolver. My skill is Ice Manipulation!" Feng Yu Bing looked at this man who helped her exact revenge over her father's murder and stretched out her hands to exhibit her ability.
Yue Zhong looked at Feng Yu Bing with an excited look: "Good! Yu Bing, from now on, you're my subordinate. I will train you up to become a proper soldier. You must know that in this world, those without strength will be trampled on. Only by obtaining strength, would you be able to protect the ones you love and the things you treasure."
Feng Yu Bing was a natural Evolver, and her natural ability was stronger than the ones that used the Evolving Liquid. After all, natural Evolvers were favored by the heavens, and as long as they undergo proper training, they would become elite soldiers.
Feng Yu Bing looked at Yue Zhong and nodded her head silently. Her life was saved by this man, and her vengeance was made possible by him as well. She had no other wish in this life except to repay this man.
In addition to Feng Yu Bing, Yuan Tian Gang, Kyoko, Shiroyuki, and Asami also became Evolvers. They manifested abilities alongside their evolution. Yuan Tian Gang became a Spirit-based Evolver, and his skill was Mechanical Manipulation Specialization, allowing him control over any machines. Kyoko was an Agility-based Evolver, with a Second Order Agility Solidification. Shiroyuki and Asami were both Agility-based Evolvers as well, with both of them awakening the ordinary High-Speed Movement ability.

Chapter 552: Training!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Inside a government office in Gui Ning City, Wei Ning Guo summoned all the important members to announce some news.
Hearing the news, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Yue Zhong was still their leader, and the only one they could place their trust and hopes on. If he were to die, then all that he had built up would instantly crumble. When they heard that we was alive and well, all those with some ambitions quickly killed off their insidious thoughts.
Yao Yao had an anxious expression as she asked: "How is Sis Qing Wu?"
To Yao Yao, Yue Zhong was important, but Ji Qing Wu held a higher position in her heart. In order to save her, Ji Qing Wu had nearly sacrificed her own life.
"According to Leader's report, Ji Qing Wu had suffered life-threatening injuries, and is currently recuperating by his side. In order to recover, she would need another 4 months' time." Wei Ning Guo was after all a good soul, and due to his loyalty to Yue Zhong, he did not dare offend his women. Although Yao Yao was young, she was beautiful and a natural Evolver to boot. She was also one of the earliest comrades of Yue Zhong, and was already the vice-captain of the 1st Elite Battalion of Long Hai City. He could not afford to brush her off.
The apocalypse had shattered all forms of norms of the past society, as long as one had the wisdom and strength, even a kid could become a leader or a high-ranking officer.
Yao Yao looked at Wei Ning Guo and immediately said: "I want to go to Yama County. Wei Ning Guo, I want a Thunder Fighter to go there."
Yao Yao's strength caused her to be more direct when handling matters, and she seldom beat around the bush. Even if Wei Ning Guo was the highest authority in Gui Ning, she was as blunt as ever.
Wei Ning Guo immediately agreed to her request: "Sure! I'll arrange for 4 of the Thunder Fighters to accompany you to Japan."
Yue Zhong had obtained the 12 Thunder Fighters from the Kingdom of God, but he lacked the necessary manpower to drive them all. In the entire Guang Xi Region, there was only maybe 4 decent pilots. They were all Enhancers with the Vehicle Driving Specialization skill. These was why they could operate the mechanical beasts.
Hu Yi looked towards Wei Ning Guo expectantly and asked: "What instructions did Boss have for us?"
After the huge expenditure of ammunition, they had stopped all forms of fightings. There were only small scale assaults on the surrounding zombie groups around. This caused Hu Yi, Zhang Xue Wang and Zheng Ming He as the commanders of their respective battalions to be bored. Only through fighting would military men show their might. They hoped for a huge fight to raise their merits.
Wei Ning Guo replied softly: "Leader told us to rest for one more month. After the ammunition is replenished, we will focus our attention northeast, to clear a way between Long Hai City in the Hunan Region and Gui Ning City. Specific tactics to be decided by the army."
Although Guang Xi still faced the threat of over a million zombies, Yue Zhong's aim was to clear the northeast region. The moment they established the connection, Yue Zhong's faction would leap in strength, making using of the connecting rails and combining into a complete base.
Now, the Hunan and Guang Xi regions were still separated. By connecting them, the research and talents could be shared.
"Yes!"
Not long after the meeting concluded, 4 Thunder Fighters lifted off from the underground city, and in a flash of light, flew towards the direction of Japan.
Within the 4 Thunder Fighters, there were 100 Enhancers, each of them at least Level 40. At the same time, there were 20 Evolvers among them as well. They were all elite and loyal soldiers that Yue Zhong had trained specially.
This was a terrifying strength. With the 4 Thunder Fighters and the 100 fully-equipped Enhancers could raze an entire faction of 10,000 people to the ground.
Yue Zhong had made use of the broadcast station to establish a radio communications back home and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He did not, however, squander his time on enjoying himself with the women. Instead, he got to work training the Chinese soldiers as well as the new Evolvers by his side.
Early the next morning, inside the accommodations, an alarm blared out incessantly.
The moment the alarm sounded, a number of men and women rushed out from their rooms neatly within 20 seconds. Each of them carried large bags, and swiftly gathered at the parade square.
Ida Kyoko, Sakura Shiroyuki, Amano Asami, Yuan Tian Gang, Muto Shin, Ogura Reiya and Feng Yu Bing stood amongst the soldiers and looked at Yue Zhong quietly.
Yue Zhong stared at everyone present and ordered loudly: "Carry your equipment! Let's move out!"
After that, he hoisted a 100kg bag onto his bag and started to run out.
The rest hoisted their bags and followed quickly.
This was the morning run of 10km in the wild. If it was before the apocalypse, not many would be able to withstand such a intense workout. However, because of the threat of death, everyone managed to tap into their potential and forced themselves to the limit.
Furthermore, most importantly, after training everyday, he would allow them all to consume Type 3 Mutant Beast Meat, strengthening their bodies.
After 15 days of rigorous training, every single one of the survivors had been pushed to the brink of death and back, yet their physique had swiftly soared, reaching levels that exceeded even special forces of before the apocalypse. This was possible only because of the intense training and the miraculous Type 3 Mutant Beast meat.
Ogura Reiya was different from the other lolis. She could withstand the tough training. She did not detest the training unlike other women, and instead, volunteered to take part. She knew that with just her strength alone, it was not enough to control her own destiny. Furthermore, Yue Zhong had given her the chance.
Shiroyuki and Asami could not compare to Reiya. They were after all trained to be more feminine and to serve, if it wasn't for the fact that they had become Evolvers, and Yue Zhong's forceful request, they would not want to be part of the hellish training.
After the morning run, Yue Zhong would then lead the Chinese to hunt zombies. Yuan Tian Gang, Muto Shin, Feng Yu Bing, Ida Kyoko were appointed as captains and they used weapons to weaken the zombies, allowing the other Chinese survivors to become Enhancers.
Yue Zhong had a number of equipment that he obtained from the corpses of the Takama-ga-hara soldiers from the Liger hunt, and handed them to his men.
Under such training and enhancement, the entire group of about 100 survivors rose to become Enhancers of above Level 15.
Amongst them, Kyoko, Yuan Yian Gang, Shiroyuki, Feng Yu Bing, Asami and Reiya all become Level 30.
These 6 could level up faster was because Yue Zhong found a territory of a 100 Type 2 evolved zombies, allowing them to train against them. That was why they could level up so quickly.
Only with resources, and the carry of an expert, a faction could easily make use of any group of high-level zombies to groom an Enhancer of above Level 30.
Training these people to be Level 30 was easy for Yue Zhong. However, the Level 40, 50 and even 60 mark were extremely difficult. After all, the higher one went, the more difficult it was to level. This was why Takama-ga-hara could only deploy a group of Level 30 Enhancers as a hunting team.
Inside a small town, Kyoko led a number of soldiers in killing zombies. Yue Zhong was waiting quietly outside. The Type 3 zombies inside had been annihilated by him, and the ordinary zombies were simply not a match for the 5 Evolvers and their elite soldiers.
One soldier suddenly ran up to Yue Zhong: "Leader, there's movement from the zombie horde!"
"What, the zombie horde is moving?!" Yue Zhong's expression turned when he heard it, and he ordered: "Convey my orders, everyone is to return and prepare to retreat."
"Yes!" The soldier quickly rushed off.
At this time, propeller and motor sounds rang in the distance, as a number of Thunder Fighters rushed by overhead in the skies.
"Those are Thunder Fighters! There're 12 of them, these must be an assault team of the Kingdom of God!!" Yue Zhong saw the aircrafts and his face fell.
He already knew that Yao Yao was on her way with 4 Thunder Fighters, yet the sudden appearance of 12 could only mean the Kingdom of God.
Looking at the direction they were flying towards, he came to a conjecture: "That's the direction of Yama County, the Shimazu Clan!"
"Convey my orders! Everyone is to gather at Point 1. Without my orders, no one is to actively go out to fight!" Yue Zhong left this line of instructions and he sprinted by himself towards the direction of the 12 Thunder Fighters.
Yue Zhong had trained Kyoko and the rest up in order to gain a unit he could trust and use. However, with his strength, they were still not a match for him. Against the Kingdom of God, they were not going to be much help either. A single elite troop could wipe them out.

Chapter 553: The Viciousness of the Thunder Fighter!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong activated his Shadow Steps and his speed reached the limit, exceeding the speed of a Type 2 Lightning, even surpassing the Thunder Fighters in the sky.
The Thunder Fighter was a large aircraft, its speed reaching 550 km/hour. However, it had not exceeded the sound barrier, while Yue Zhong's speed had reached 700 km/hour.
Of course, Yue Zhong could not maintain that speed for long, after all, he was a biological lifeform, at most it was for 10 minutes. However, he managed to chase up to the Thunder Fighters.
One was significantly larger than the rest by two times, loaded with plenty of weapons. Its interior was spacious, as though it was a fortress in the sky. There was a layer of lavish Turkish rugs on the floor, as a blond man with handsome looks stood quietly sipping a glass of wine.
There were 2 beautiful and voluptuous Japanese women kneeling by his side, helping to massage his legs.
This charming male took another sip before he turned to a bespectacled middle aged man and asked: "Ashman! Does the old man from the Shimazu Clan truly possess the Sky Fortress Power System and Outer Hull? They don't even have a Level 60 Evolver, how could they kill a Type 3 Beast to obtain such a treasure?"
Ashman pushed his glasses up and replied mildly: "Divine Envoy, sir, other than strength in this world, there's luck. Shimazu Fuji was just lucky. The Power System diagram exploded out when he expended a large number of experts to kill a Type 3 Mutant BEast. As for the Outer Hull, he had obtained it by exchanging with 10 beautiful virgins with some Evolver! To ordinary Evolvers, those diagrams are worthless."
This handsome blond man was one of the Divine Envoys of the Kingdom of God, a Level 62 Spirit Evolver, the Envoy of Ice, Julius.
A powerful-looking, beautiful woman with golden hair and an incredibly sexy figure in a silver combat suit appeared, as she spoke slowly: "Julius, the Shimazu Clan are just ants, they don't deserve 2 Envoys to move. I'll be enough to get them to hand the diagrams over obediently."
Julius looked at this woman, Suzanne, contemptuously: "Suzanne! Shimazu Fuji is not an idiot. Even if you were to parade your huge ass like a dog for him to fuck, he won't be so stupid as to hand it to you. However, if you were to crawl over here and let me do you, I can give you the chance."
Suzanne was a mixed blood of Aryan and gypsy descent. She wasn't a pure blood Aryan, and although she held a position as one of the Divine Envoys, she was the lowest rank. Her position and all the resources she received were the lowest. She was also looked down upon by the rest.
Gypsy women had the connotations of being prostitutes for a period of time in the western world. After the apocalypse had happened, due to the prevalent belief of race and superiority, the Kingdom of God was led by mainly Aryan people. Mixed blood people like Suzanne were often ostracized or looked down on.
(TN: I have no idea about Gypsy women being prostitutes. Doesn't say anywhere on the web. So it could be have been misinterpreted in some form to the author. In fact, the proper term for the gypsy are the Romani people.)
Of course, not everyone was a nationalistic Aryan. Otherwise, Suzanne would definitely not have the chance to rise to an Envoy-status, and would only be treated as a lower caste member of society.
When Suzanne heard Julius' words, she stared at him with a venomous hatred, and her hands flipped, causing 2 Desert Eagles to appear: "Julius, are you hoping to anger me to the point that I shove these Desert Eagles up your worthless ass and turn it into a pile of minced meat? Before I slice that useless thing you call a dick and shove it into your mouth?"
Julius flung the wine glass in his hands to one side and stared back at her with a vile gaze and spat out his words: "Suzanne, you bitch. Don't think that just because you got into the beds of those stinky old farts and you can prance in front of me. If you want your 4 limbs to be hacked off and become a sex toy for slaves, you can try pissing me off."
When Suzanne heard that, a hint of shock flashed in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth, not replying. Julius was after all a pure blood Aryan, and had plenty of Envoys backing him up. Even if she was one of the Envoys, as long as Julius set his mind to it, she would definitely be tortured till death. Her looks and figure would definitely be more than a treat to those stinky and lowly slaves. While those Elders of the Kingdom of God who had enjoyed her body would definitely not step out to go against Julius.
Ashman then spoke: "Envoys, please maintain your calm and control. Please work together to complete this mission. We cannot fail, otherwise, we will all suffer the consequences."
Julius snorted coldly: "Hmph! Bunch of ants, not worthy of any attention!"
Soon, 12 assault helicopters flew out from the Shimazu Clan to meet the 12 Thunder Fighters in the air. At the same time, the self-defence force of the Shimazu Clan hurried to fire their anti-air missiles towards the threat in the air.
The time came for the Thunder Fighters to showcase their prowess. They sent out a few missiles to intercept those from the assault helicopters. Fireworks bloomed in the skies, with resounding explosions, but not a single round managed to hit the Thunder Fighters.
On the ground, a number of large anti-air rounds shot towards the Thunder Fights, but ricocheted off the exterior of those mighty mechanical beasts.
The 12 Thunder Fighters then fired their own retaliatory rounds, hitting every single one of the self-defence assault helicopters, causing them to explode in huge balls of flames.
The Japanese assault helicopters fell towards the ground, charred black, before exploding further when they crashed into the ground.
The moment the 12 assault helicopters were destroyed, the Thunder Fighters had not even moved from their positions, with only 5 of them suffering small holes in their hulls from the attacks of the troops on the ground.
After destroying the assault helicopters of the self defence force, the Thunder Fighters then fired a number of rockets at the various air defense systems, resulting in multiple explosions.
In that fearsome aerial attack, a number of anti-air cars and missile launchers were all turned into scraps of metal. A number of tanks and armored vehicles were also not spared from that volley of fire from the Thunder Fighters. Death rained down from the skies, causing them all to burst into flames.
The Shimazu Clan was instantly plunged into chaos, as many of the people scrambled around frantically. The Thunder Fighters remained in the air, while collecting the lives of the people like a death god, firing their cannons from time to time.
As Yue Zhong hid in the forest, he looked at the destruction and death brought by the Thunder Fighters and his heart was filled with shock: "What a terrifying weapon. This is the true strength of the Thunder Fighters! The Kingdom of God is truly a terrifying organization!!"
Yue Zhong had snatched some Thunder Fighters from the Kingdom of God as well, and he knew the terrifying capabilities of these technologically advanced equipment. However, seeing it up close reminded him of the power that the Kingdom of God truly held.
With just 12 Thunder Fights, the Kingdom of God was totally suppressing the Shimazu Clan and its self-defence force, just like how the USA had kept Iraq in dire straits by using more advanced weapons.
Yue Zhong eyed the Thunder Fighters and thought silently: "The Kingdom of God wouldn't just act randomly. The Shimazu Clan must have something they need. Is it me, or blueprints of advanced technology?"
He had killed a number of people from the Kingdom of God, including one of their Envoys. He had already been deemed an enemy of theirs, and it was likely that they had discovered his trace in Japan, and thus sent forces.
He activated his Stealth ability and quietly observed.
Under the fearsome might of the Thunder Fighters, Yama County finally could not withstand it anymore, and raised a huge white flag.
Ashman accepted a phone call, before speaking mildly to Julius: "It's done!"
Julius laughed contemptuously: "These lowlife Japanese monkeys are truly useless. Here I thought they could last longer!"
Of the 12 Thunder Fighters that came, 5 descended.
A number of Adjudicators in silver uniform as well as Judges with golden lions and sword medals on their uniforms walked out from the 4 Thunder Fighters. They escorted Julius towards the Shimazu Clan.
As for Suzanne, she stayed where she was, guarding the Thunder Fighters.
The moment Julius saw Shimazu Fuji, he spoke threateningly: "You must be Shimazu Fuji! I'm Julius, one of the Divine Envoys of the Kingdom of God. Hand over the 2 diagrams of the Sky Fortress within your possession. Add on 20 beautiful virgins, and swear to join the Kingdom of God. You can then live. Otherwise, everyone in your Shimazu Clan will perish."
"Kazuhiko, it was you?!" Shimazu Fuji saw a man beside Julius and his expression turned crestfallen. That man was called Yokota Kazuhiko, and he was the trusted aide of Shimazu Fuji. He would never have expected his right-hand man to betray him.

Chapter 554: Instant Killing Julius!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yokota Kazuhiko's complex gaze landed on Shimazu Fuji, before he spoke slowly: "Clan Lord-sama, the Chinese has a saying; The smart beasts would choose a good tree to perch. The future of this world lies in the hands of the mighty Kingdom of God. Only by believing in the one true God, there would be a chance to enter Heaven, and not Hell. I just want to enter Heaven after I die."
When the world had transformed, every single person on earth had heard the notification of the one that called himself God, and many who had chosen not to believe, were forced to accept otherwise.
Under such an environment, the might of a religious power could shake the hearts of people. With the Heaven Sect previously, as well as the Kingdom of God, such factions had the draw of faith.
Of course, compared to the Kingdom of God, the Heaven Sect was just a pile of mud. Be it the size of their faction, their influence, and the effort in their people, there was no comparison at all.
Yokota Kazuhiko spoke up: "Clan Lord-sama, it's impossible for you to resist the Divine Envoys of the Kingdom of God. If you continue to resist, Princess Mina, Young Lord Shinsei, Princess Yuika and Young Lord Chouji would be affected by your decision. Your life and death doesn't allow you to retain those diagrams."
When Shimazu Fuji heard those words, his face turned ashen, and his entire demeanor seemed as though he aged 20 years. He sighed helplessly and said: "I got it! I will give you the diagrams!"
Shimazu Fuji came to a small room, and tore open a tatami mat, revealing a safe requiring a fingerprint lock and password to unlock. He entered some numbers, pressed his finger, and the safe opened to reveal 2 blueprints.
"This should be fine, no? Divine Envoy?" Shimazu Fuji had expended a huge amount of resources to lay his hands on those diagrams. He was clear, regardless of personal strength, or military might, he had no mean to contend with Julius and his troops. His Shimazu Clan would only face annihilation.
In this apocalypse, the weak had to maintain their the attitude of the weak.
Julius received those and an enormous amount of information flooded his brain. He smiled with satisfaction: "Not bad! These are the diagrams!"
Shimazu Fuji continued respectfully: "The 20 beautiful virgins will be arranged to be sent to you. Please wait patiently Divine Envoy."
Shimazu Fuji had over 20,000 survivors under him. However, it was truly hard to find virgins, even if there were a few. As a form of enticement, he had kept a number of virgins to be traded or gifted. Finding 20 wasn't too much of a problem for him.
"There's no need!! You can go die now!" At this point, Yokota Kazuhiko's eyes flashed with a murderous gaze and he pulled out the Japanese katana by his waist and slashed downwards, slicing Shimazu Fuji in two.
Shimazu Fuji had been sliced in two. There was still a look of disbelief on his face, not expecting that blow from someone he had trusted.
Julius frowned: "You should have waited until he had given me those virgins."
Yokota Kazuhiko turned and bowed at a 45 degree: "Divine Envoy, I can promise you 30 virgins. Furthermore, the 2 princesses are absolute beauties. They're the princesses of the Shimazu Clan, and definitely higher in quality."
"Then I'll leave it to you!" Julius spoke arrogantly, before turning and walking away.
To Julius, it didn't matter it was Shimazu Fuji or Yokota Kazuhiko, as long as his demans were met, he would be satisfied. Compared to Shimazu Fuji who he wasn't as familiar with, he trusted Yokota Kazuhiko more.
When Julius stepped out of the villa, he suddenly felt a sense of extreme danger. A incredible killing intent billowed towards him. His heart was filled with shock, and he activated his ability at the first instant he could.
Unfortunately, the speed of the blade that came slashing down was as swift as a meteor, all Julius saw was that beam of light, when his head was instantly separated from his body. There was a look of disbelief on his face.
The assassin was naturally Yue Zhong, after disposing of Julius, he swiftly retrieved the 2 blueprints from the corpse, which were the parts of the Sky Fortress.
Julius was strong, there was no doubt about that. If it were a frontal assault, Yue Zhong would definitely take some time to kill him, as well as expend a huge amount of Spirit and Stamina. However, facing a sneak attack from Yue Zhong, it was a different story. Because Julius was a Spirit and Strength dual-attribute Evolver, while he was strong, his defence against assassination attempts were weak.
The moment Yokoto Kazuhito witnessed Julius' unfortunate fate, his face fell, and he quickly tried to escape.
Yokoto Kazuhito had just ran out the door when a cold light flashed out from a corner, and his head was likewise separated from his body, rolling onto the floor.
Yue Zhong saw Yamada Ichiuma stepping out suddenly from the corner, and he instantly went on full alert, emitting a strong killing intent: "Who are you?"
Yamada Ichiuma's strength was not a joke, and it was obvious that he specialized in assassination. To Yue Zhong, if such a person was an enemy, it would be a nightmare to his subordinates. Other than himself, not a single person by his side could withstand a single hit.
Yamada Ichiuma bowed before retreating into the darkness: "Yue Zhong-sama, I'm not your enemy. I'm the guardian of the Shimazu Clan, Yamada Ichiuma. Since the Clan Lord had died, I will continue to protect the next Shimazu leader."
Yue Zhong frowned slightly: "The guardian of the Shimazu Clan? It might be troublesome."
"Otou-sama! Otou-sama!" Shimazu Mina and the rest of the Shimazu children came rushing in, together with some of the essential members that had not yet fled. When they saw the 2 halves of Shimazu Fuji, they could not help but wail in sorrow.
The Shimazu Clan was a large clan prior to the apocalypse. Even after the apocalypse had happened, they made use of their prestige and strength to rescue a large number of people.
"It was you! You killed my father, didn't you?!" The 22-year-old, ordinary-looking Shimazu Chouji screamed at Yue Zhong with a crazed look and bloodshot eyes: "Yue Zhong, you want to snatch all that our Shimazu Clan has, isn't it?! Let me tell you, you can forget about it! All that the Shimazu Clan has belongs to it forever! You will definitely not take it away!"
Yue Zhong shot him a cold glare, and pulled out his Black Tooth Blade, intending to slash at him: "What a fool! Since you think that it's the case, let me clear the Shimazu Clan then. The first to die shall be you!"
When he was glared at by Yue Zhong, Shimazu Chouji immediately felt fear. His legs gave way, and he crumpled to the floor.
"Yue Zhong-sama! Please be appeased!" A gust of wind blew by, and Yamada Ichiuma appeared again, kneeling in front of Yue Zhong: "Chouji-sama, the one who killed Lord Clan Head was Yokota Kazuhito, not Yue Zhong-sama. That traitor had already thrown his weight in with the Kingdom of God, and betrayed the Shimazu Clan."
Yamada Ichiuma knew the disparity of strength between the both of them, if Yue Zhong really set his heart on wiping them out, then the Shimazu Clan would truly cease to exist.
Shimazu Mina kneeled and also pleaded: "Otto-sama, please be appeased. Chouji-niichan was momentarily confused in his anger. He didn't mean what he said."
"Watch your stinky mouth!" Yue Zhong kept his weapon, and stared coldly at Shimazu Chouji.
The Shimazu Clan was the overlord of the Yama County. If Yue Zhong were to wipe them out, then the entire Yama County would be plunged into chaos. In a short period of time, it would be hard to gather strength to resist the Kingdom of God.
Yue Zhong shot the people present a glance and said: "I'm announcing for Shimazu Mina to be the leader from now on, does anyone have any objections?"
Everyone present immediately exchanged glances while keeping quiet. They weren't willing to give up the claims to the Shimazu Clan, but in view of Yue Zhong on one side, and the Kingdom of God on the other, they could only keep their silence."
Shimazu Mina was slightly alarmed as she tried to decline: "Otto-sama, it's impossible for me!"
Although Shimazu Mina was capable, she had not been groomed to take over the reins. She was just a tool to be used as a bargaining chip in Shimazu Fuji's plans. Hearing Yue Zhong's sudden announcement, she was at a loss.
Yamada Ichiuma immediately kneeled in front of Shimazu Mina and spoke seriously: "Princess Mina! I, Yamada Ichiuma, am willing to serve you! Please take over the reins of the Shimazu Clan!"
The Yamada family had been serving the Shimazu Clan for generations. He wasn't going to be loyal to Yue Zhong, and in order for the Shimazu Clan to flourish, handing the reins to Shimazu Mina was the best choice. After all, she was one of Yue Zhong's women, and he could rely on that bond to get Yue Zhong's help.
Yue Zhong patted Shimazu Mina's shoulder and encouraged: "Mina, you can do it! Now, your first task is to get people to suppress the chaos in Sakura Town. The rest, I'll handle for you."
"Hai!" Shimazu Mina replied gently, and her eyes lit up, before she proceeded to give a flurry of orders.
Yue Zhong walked out, there were still 7 Thunder Fighters in the air, and 5 on the ground. He had to take care of these terrifying metal beasts. Otherwise, Sakura Town was really incapable of facing against such might.

Chapter 555: Cluster Bomb!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Near the Thunder Fighters, Suzanne pulled out a cigarette and lit it up: "What is that idiot Julius doing? Why is it taking so long? Is he fooling around again?"
As the smoke rose, her beautiful features were covered in it. Suddenly, she felt her heart palpitate, as a dangerous premonition arose.
Suzanne was an expert that had undergone the baptism of countless battles. The moment she felt that sense of danger, she had already activated her Second Order Divine Speed, instantly reaching a speed 28 times of a normal person.
After she cast it, she twisted forcefully, leaping towards the side.
Had she been slower by a single second, her head would have exploded apart like a watermelon.
Suzanne looked towards the direction where the Stinger bullets came from, only to discover Yue Zhong's icy gaze fixed on her. At the same time, he had waved his hands to take down 5 of the Adjudicators.
"Yue Zhong!! This is the guy who killed Halumanda!!" Suzanne looked at Yue Zhong and felt a chill over her body. She instantly lost all will to fight and leapt into the Thunder Fighter, shouting: "Go!! Fly!!"
The pilot responded in shock: "Esteemed Envoy, Envoy Julius has not yet returned!"
This small team of Thunder Fighter pilots were formed around Julius as the core, so while Suzanne was also a Divine Envoy, her position was lower. Many did not really view her with high regard.
Suzanne's features were contorted in fury, as she pointed a Desert Eagle at his head and barked coldly: "Fly up immediately, otherwise, I'll blow your fucking brains out."
The pilot could feel the cold metal on his head, and his heart tightened, immediately controlling the Thunder Fighter to ascend.
"You want to escape? Not that easy!" Yue Zhong eyed the motors of the Thunder Fighters roaring to life and his eyes flashed. He activated his Shadow Steps, and burst out with a 700km/h speed. He immediately reached the midst of the clearing.
Yue Zhong then blasted out with his Art of Fear, causing a powerful Spirit shockwave to spread out. Under that oppressive force, the pilots of the Thunder Fighters were all frightened to death, blood flowing out of their orifices.
The ascending Thunder Fighters landed on the ground again having lost their pilots.
On the ground, there were still a dozen Adjudicators and Judges, who were currently pointing their weapons at Yue Zhong and firing insanely.
At the same time, a number of Wind Blades, Fireballs and Ice Shards were all cast towards Yue Zhong.
With his insane speed, other than Suzanne, not a single person could catch up to him. He became a flash of light that weaved in and out of the troops. Everywhere he went, there would a flash of his blade, and the numerous soldiers would be beheaded.
As Yue Zhong was engaged in his slaughter, a lithe figure leapt out from the cockpit of the Thunder Fighter, as a long and slender leg filled with explosive force aimed towards Yue Zhong's head.
Yue Zhong had just killed an Adjudicator, and he had no time to defend himself, only able to raise his right hand to block.
That powerful kick sent Yue Zhong flying back by over 6 to 7 metres.
Suzanne, who was behind that kick, instantly pounced towards Yue Zhong like an enraged leopard, using her insane speed to launch multiple attacks on him.
The human's fist traveled faster than a person running. Having activated her Second Order Divine Speed, Suzanne's speed had reached 28 times that of a normal person. Without holding anything back, her kicks reached mach speed, and each blow of hers carried sonic booms with them.
Yue Zhong had to deal with the blows raining on him after being sent flying back a few metres. He didn't panic, instead, relying on his abundant combat experience to negate the effects of each strike by Suzanne.
With his Endurance reaching 194 points, and his passive skill Steel Body, his defences were not weak. Suzanne felt like she was kicking a metal board each time her blows landed. After lashing out over a dozen times, her legs were the ones that seemed to be bleeding.
She quickly leaped back, eyeing Yue Zhong in shock: "Damn it! His body is too tough! What a fearsome opponent! Other than those Divine Envoys ranked 1st to 10th, no one is a match for him!"
Suzanne instantly abandoned everything and her subordinates and seeked to escape. In this short exchange, she had come to experience Yue Zhong's might for herself, and she wasn't willing to fall at his hands.
Seeing that Suzanne wanted to escape, Yue Zhong immediately launched an Art of Fear attack towards her. She was an Agility-based Evolver, and her Spirit wasn't high. She was instantly thrown into a hallucination, causing her to lose control of herself, and she crumpled to the ground.
"Quick, run!!"
The moment they saw Suzanne fall, the faces of the Adjudicators and Judges drained of colour, as they turned around to escape.
Yue Zhong stepped forwards once, when he suddenly felt something amiss, and swiftly retreated backwards.
The 7 Thunder Fighters in the air had flown over, as a number of rockets fired towards Yue Zhong's general position.
Hong!! Hong!! Hong!!
Terrifying explosions blasted all around Yue Zhong, and the shockwaves and resulting shrapnel bombarded his body, having to bear the brunt of the aftermath.
If Yue Zhong's Endurance wasn't enough, he would have been pulverized by that bout of attacks earlier. However, he still didn't underestimate the devastation of the attacks, choosing to dodge and evade whatever he could. As long as a rocket landed on him, he would still be blasted apart regardless of his Endurance.
In the skies, the 7 Thunder Fighters then switched to their 25mm gatling guns and began to spray at Yue Zhong.
"Fuck!" He had to run, in a few breaths, he reached one of the fallen Thunder Fighters, and leaped behind. Making use of the hull of the Thunder Fighters to block against the attacks from the gattling guns, he could finally take a breather.
After he managed to find cover, 8 guided missiles found their way towards that Thunder Fighter in a flash and caused it to explode in a ball of fire.
Yue Zhong had leaped to one side at the first moment, but the Thunder Fighters were filled with countless weaponry. The next instant, he felt the shockwaves from the explosion and was sent flying out a few metres. His left arm was broken, and his outer clothing had been ripped to pieces, revealing the pitch-black Type 3 Mutant Beast hide underneath. Even the terrifying defence of the Type 3 Mutant Beast hide was laced with a few scratches and cuts from the countless hits Yue Zhong had just experienced.
The Type 3 Mutant Beast hide was known to be impervious to knives and bullets. However, it could not block the impact of rockets. The powerful explosions were enough to tear the hide apart.
Yue Zhong felt a stab of pain in his chest and he spat out a mouth of blood, his face pale: "Strong!! Too overwhelming. Such a weapon of war, amongst humankind, it's still difficult to defend against."
The Thunder Fighters were like tanks in the air. Even the Falcon Sniper had no means of penetrating the hull. As for anti-tank rocket rounds, it was hard to hit the Thunder Fighters in the air. In this apocalyptic world now, they were seemingly invincible.
The attacks of the Thunder Fighters caused layers of dust to cover the area, blocking the sight of the Thunder Fighters for a moment.
At that moment, Yue Zhong immediately conjured up 2 Devil Flame Spears in his hands, and sent them shooting straight for 2 of the Thunder Fighters. The fearsome flame instantly incinerated the pilots of the 2 Thunder Fighters, and combusted in the cockpits, destroying various vital functions.
With the loss of pilots, the soldiers within those 2 Thunder Fighters immediately deployed their parachutes, moments before the 2 Thunder Fighters crashed towards the ground, although they did not explode.
As a new-generation aircraft, the Thunder Fighter had the capability to withstand rockets. They would be able to land safely even after receiving a few rounds.
Having dealt with those 2 Thunder Fighters, the remaining 5 Thunder Fighters seemed to fire even more crazily at Yue Zhong. They continued to hover above his positions at all times as they sent cluster bombs down.
Hong!! Hong!! Hong!!
A number of cluster bombs exploded powerfully, and the scorching heatwave enveloped the entire area, as the resulting shrapnel and flames obliterated everything in the blast radius.
Inside the blast radius, the Adjudicators, Judges and any other biological lifeforms unfortunate enough to be caught within it were annihilated totally. Even the unconscious Divine Envoy Suzanne had been blasted to pieces.
The cluster bomb had been internationally prohibited from use in war prior to the apocalypse due to its devastating nature. However, in this apocalypse, there was no United Nations, and hence no one would control the usage of such weapons.
The cluster bombs were one of the weapons the Kingdom of God had approved to use against high-level Evolvers, because the might of these weapons were truly strong, even the 12 Apostles might not necessarily be able to escape from the vicinity of these cluster bombs!

Chapter 556: Destroy the Thunder Fighters!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The blast radius of the cluster bomb was extremely wide, even someone as strong as Yue Zhong had no means of escaping from it quickly. He had instantly activated his Shield of Light.
Amidst the explosions of the cluster bomb, the shield was only able to hold up for about 2 seconds before disintegrating. The moment it shattered, Yue Zhong had sent out another 2 Devil Flame Spears towards 2 other Thunder Fighters in the skies. His attacks pierced through the pilots' cockpit and immediately killed the pilots.
When the pilots of the 2 Thunder Fighters were killed, the metal killing machines also wobbled before crashing towards the ground.
After the shield crumbled, Yue Zhong activated another Shield of Light, forcefully withstanding the explosions of the lethal cluster bombs. He made use of the chance when he was protected to quickly conjured yet another 2 Devil Flame Spears, sending them shooting straight for 2 other Thunder Fighters. As the pilots were incinerated to death, the Thunder Fighters began to descend.
Having destroyed 4 Thunder Fighters in 5 seconds with 4 Devil Flame Spears, as well as the activation of the Shield of Light twice, Yue Zhong was nearly expended of all his Strength.
The pilot of the remaining Thunder Fighter saw his comrades shot down, and he finally felt a sense of fear and danger. He tried to manoeuvre the Thunder Fighter around in a bid to escape.
"Get the hell down!" Yue Zhong conjured one final Devil Flame Spear and threw it out with all his strength, as the Spear shot towards the rotating blades like a shooting star, melting them.
As the blades melted and started to deform, the Thunder Helicopter lost its stability, and began to plunge towards the ground.
Yue Zhong watched the last Thunder Fighter fall to the ground, and let out a long sigh of relief. The pressure emitted by the Thunder Fighters was truly suffocating. Fortunately it had been a small team of 12 of them. If it were a fleet of 36 of them, then even someone as strong as him would be decimated in a second.
Yue Zhong's might was steadily climbing. Even handguns and rifles posed no threat to him now. However, rockets, cannons, guided missiles or any other heavy artillery for that matter could still threaten him.
Seeing the Thunder Fighters crash down one by one, the survivors in Sakura Town also began to cheer in delight.
Those machines were like death reapers, with their powerful firearms. Under their attacks, the entire Sakura Town almost went into chaos, and various structures were in varying degrees of damage and destruction.
Over 2,000 survivors had died at the assault of those Thunder Fighters, mainly because of the might of the cluster bombs.
Even after the Thunder Fighters fleet had been brought down, Sakura Town was still burning, and the Japanese survivors were naturally enraged and hated those weapons of destruction.
Shimazu Mina demonstrated her capability and charm, swiftly organizing a team of Enhancers under the Shimazu Clan to quickly suppress the chaos and the soldiers from the Kingdom of God that had parachuted down.
One by one, the Adjudicators and Judges were either captured or killed.
At the same time, another elite troops entered Sakura Town to persecute those survivors that had tried to make use of the chaos to commit atrocities as well. These rioters were quickly killed.
As the situation came under control, this time, 4 Thunder Fighters appeared in the distance.
The warriors of the Shimazu Clan saw the Thunder Fighters and their faces fell. There were some people who even directly threw down their weapons and prepared to run.
The hearts of the people that had just settled down were quickly riled up again, as a number of survivors tried to run out of Sakura Town. The Thunder Fighters were death reapers, and 4 were enough to wipe out the town entirely. Although there were a few experts who were capable of destroying the metal behemoths, the ordinary survivors were still afraid.
Yue Zhong watched the approaching 4 Thunder Fighters and his expression turned ugly. The 2 Shield of Lights on his body had been expended, and he only had the Bronze Spiritual Bell left. In order to destroy those 4 Thunder Fighters, he would be in extreme danger.
"Wait, 4? Could it be Yao Yao and the rest?" Yue Zhong eyed those Thunder Fighters and swiftly made his way to the wall around Sakura Town and stood at a prominent spot. With the Bronze Spiritual Bell as his final protection treasure, he didn't mind risking it to confirm the identity of those 4 Thunder Fighters.
A strong gust of wind blew past, as a green eagle with a wingspan of over 80m like something out of the legends flew out. With a single flap, it reached the city walls with a speed that broke the sound barrier.
This massive green eagle was precisely Greenie, under the supplements of those nuclei, it had already evolved to its Type 3 stage, reaching Level 80.
The moment Greenie reached the city wall, it used its head to rub against Yue Zhong affectionately. As Yue Zhong's first tamed beast, it had grown from its hatchling stage to a Type 3 Mutant Beast, therefore, it felt a lot closer to Yue Zhong than the rest of his tamed Mutant Beasts.
"Where's Sis Qing Wu?" The moment Yao Yao leaped down from Greenie's back, she stepped forwards to question Yue Zhong.
"She's heavily injured, and is currently recuperating here." Yue Zhong pointed to the Biological Armor on his back, replying Yao Yao, before asking a question of his own: "What took you guys so long?"
Yue Zhong knew that they had set off from Guang Xi about 14 days ago, yet they had only reached now, which was unexpected.
"Let's not talk about that! We met a whole bunch of aerial Mutant Beasts along the way. In order to route around them, we wasted so much time. Give me Sis Qing Wu, I'll protect her." Yao Yao just brushed off Yue Zhong's question and stared fixedly on the Biological Armor on Yue Zhong's back.
Truthfully, the journey in the air over the seas had been a lot more difficult than what Yao Yao described. The team had come across a few waves of aerial Mutant Beasts, and were assaulted by them. If it weren't for the powerful defences of the Thunder Fighters, as well as Greenie protecting them as one of the tyrants in the skies, the team would have been wiped out.
Furthermore, the maximum distance that the Thunder Fighter could travel at one time was 2,000km. In order to reach Japan, they had to unload much of their equipment, instead filling the space with fuel. If they were attacked along the way, they could have exploded from the sheer amount of fuel. It was truly dangerous.
Yue Zhong hesitated a while, before handing the Biological Armor on his back over to Yao Yao.
The 4 Thunder Fighters came to a stop, and a number of experts above Level 40 stepped out. They were led by Bai Xiao Sheng.
When the armed militants saw the elite soldiers of the Special Forces stepping out from the Thunder Fighters, their eyes flashed with awe. Every single soldier of the Special Forces were decked in the Raven Combat Uniform, and wore high-level Mutant Beast hide. They carried sniper rifles, assault rifles, hand grenades, and Tang Replica Swords hung at their waists. They were truly armed to the teeth. They emitted incredible killing intent, which was cultivated from their countless battles.
Bai Xiao Sheng came up to Yue Zhong with a grin on his face as he saluted: "Boss Yue! Bai Xiao Sheng, reporting for duty!"
After saluting Yue Zhong, he reverted to his thick-skinned nature: "Boss, I heard that these Japanese beauties are really submissive. Give me a few!! Haha!"
"Are you sure you can handle so many?" Yue Zhong eyed him and replied dryly.
Bai Xiao Sheng was not known for anything but his love for beautiful women. Following Yue Zhong, he had experienced countless combat, and his only requests had always been women, and only beautiful ones at that. Furthermore, he was a high-ranking subordinate of Yue Zhong, and had obtained many women, thus forming a huge harem.
When Bai Xiao Sheng heard that, he also sighed: "True, it's troublesome to have too many women! My resources are always wiped out quickly."
Bai Xiao Sheng had over 100 women in his harem, and the upkeep was truly staggering. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a high-ranker under Yue Zhong, he could not keep up with their resources. Even then, it was quite a responsibility to be in charge of a hundred women.
Bai Xiao Sheng hesitated and with a pained expression, he spoke out: "Alright! This time, I'll just want 5 Japanese beauties. I can't handle any more already."
"Then it will depend on your performance." Yue Zhong didn't continue this line of small talk, as he resumed to business: "When you guys arrived, was the horde moving towards here?"
Bai Xiao Sheng's expression also turned serious: "That's right! Boss, when we came, the sea of zombies was currently making its way here. In another 4 hours, they would reach here. I reckon that we should replenish our food and fuel, and quickly get out of here. With the defences here, it won't be enough to hold off the onslaught of the zombies."
Sakura Town had just come out of an assault by the Kingdom of God. There were burning debris everywhere, and various fortifications and constructed defences had been destroyed. Over 2,000 survivors had also perished under the assault by the Kingdom of God, and another 3,000 had tried to escape the town.
Although there were about 15,000 survivors left in town, the true soldiers that could fight numbered only about 1,000 or so. These soldiers included the 100-over Chinese survivors as well as reinforcements from Bai Xiao Sheng's forces.
A team of a thousand against a few hundred thousand zombies, without any fortifications or preparations and defences. It was basically impossible without sufficient firepower.
The most important thing was that, Yue Zhong has no reason to fight to the death. This was Japan and not China. Even if the place was overrun, he just had to bring his Chinese survivors away and leave.
Yue Zhong found Shimazu Mina and said: "The zombies of Yama County are currently moving here. Sakura Town is a lost cause. Follow me, Mina, come with me to China."
Shimazu Mina immediately kneeled down and begged: "Otto-sama, I cannot just abandon the rest and come with you. These are the people who placed their trust and lives in the hands of our Shimazu Clan. If I were to go, half the survivors in Sakura Town would die. Please, please save them. I know that you're a man of miracles, you'll definitely have ways to save them."

Chapter 557: Repelling the Zombie Horde!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Shimazu Mina was someone who had received exemplary upbringing. She was extremely clear that should Sakura Town fall, the survivors would either be killed by the zombies, starve to death or even killing amongst themselves.
Yue Zhong eyed Shimazu Mina and spoke softly: "Mina, I'm sorry. I really don't have a reason to stay back and fight a losing battle."
A look of despair flashed past Shimazu Mina's eyes, as she gritted her teeth and mulled silently. She suddenly lifted her head to look at Yue Zhong, standing up and motioned to him: "Otto-sama, please come with me."
Yue Zhong followed Shimazu Mina silently, as they headed out of the town. He knew his strength and wasn't afraid of Shimazu Mina trying anything funny.
Under her lead, they came to a small hill behind Sakura Town.
There was a huge cave entrance in the side of the hill, with a dozen Enhancers of above Level 30 standing guard.
Shimazu Mina entered the cave, and keyed in a code to reveal a bright and futuristic tunnel.
They passed through an electronic gate, before Yue Zhong came to a platform. Peering below, what he saw gave him a huge shock.
Below the huge platform, there was a golden fortress in the midst of construction. It spanned over 20 meters, and its height was about the same. This was precisely the Sky Fortress that Yue Zhong had seen in the blueprints, however, compared to the original version, this golden one was lacking 4 of the main cannons, and 36 of the side cannons as well as other large caliber guns. It was also slightly smaller in size. It looked just like a flying saucer. There were over a thousand people working on it, and the difficulty in constructing this was apparent.
Shimazu Mina pointed to that Sky Fortress and said: "This was commissioned by Otou-sama. He had the designs and thus he wanted to start work on what he could. This Sky Fortress can fly, but its combat ability is almost non-existent. We could only fit about a dozen 20mm calibre cannons. It is not finished yet, and would require roughly another 20 days. Once this is done, it would belong to you, Otto-sama. Please help me to defend Sakura Town!"
There were 7 parts to the Sky Fortress. Only by collecting all 7 blueprints would one be able to determine the proper procedures and materials to manufacture an actual Sky Fortress.
However, each blueprint held advanced technology within themselves. Any single one would be enough for research to commence. Shimazu Fuji had only obtained 2 parts of the diagram, and made leaps and bounds in his own research to begin construction of the Sky Fortress. In the end, he had died, and only managed to develop a half-completed product.
Yue Zhong looked at the spaceship-like structure, and a feverish excitement burned in his eyes: "Good! I'll help you! However, you must hand the personnel working on this to me, and let me bring them to China."
Shimazu Mina smiled gently at Yue Zhong: "Of course! Everything of mine belongs to Otto-sama!"
Shimazu Mina was an intelligent woman. She knew that the Sky Fortress had taken up a lot of resources to construct. There was no way the Shimazu Clan could build another one. Hence, by handing it all to Yue Zhong, not only would they be able to utilize it to escape, they could also further strengthen the alliance between Yue Zhong and themselves.
Of course, in the long run, while they might have lost a team of excellent workers, that might adversely affect the Shimazu Clan's future, they had no choice. The other alternative was to face death right now. Between the 2 choices, Shimazu Mina chose the survival of her clan and people, and the preservation of their power.
Yue Zhong came to a decision, and began directing the defensive works.
Under Yue Zhong's orders, a number of heavy machine guns were dismantled from the Thunder Fighters and fixed on top the city walls. Those heavy firearms could tear a person into shreds.
After making a number of arrangements, Yue Zhong sat on a refueled Thunder Fighter and under the defence of the other 3, they flew towards the direction of the zombie horde.
4 Thunder Fighters flew in the skies, and soon reached the skies above the zombies.
Yue Zhong looked down, and saw a vast horde that stretched for over dozens of kilometres. Yama County had a few hundred thousands of people before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse set in, most of them became zombies, and they had gathered, moving towards Sakura Town.
Yue Zhong ordered: "Search for the L4. Inform me when you've found the target."
The 4 Thunder Fighters responded in a resounding voice: "Roger!"
"Fly low!"
The 4 Thunder Fighters began to fly low, about a 100m away from the ground. It was a decent height to locate the L4.
After all, the L4 was about 5m tall, almost the size of a small house. It was a sight hard to miss among the ordinary zombies. Soon, Yue Zhong discovered 4 L4s and a number of L3s huddled together, very obviously the personal guards of the Z-type commander.
"Utilize the cluster bomb to assault them!" Yue Zhong pointed towards the L4 and ordered out.
The 4 Thunder Fighters roared above the area where the L4s were, and dropped their cluster bombs.
Hong! Hong!! Hong!!
The moment the cluster bombs landed, they exploded wildly. The sounds of explosions continued to ring out incessantly. Everything within a few kilometres of the L4s as the centre was enveloped in the explosion.
The terrifying explosions instantly tore countless zombies apart. Other than the L4s, the rest of the zombies were all decimated in the explosion.
The defences of the L4s were after all, exceeding even that of tanks. Under that assault, they suffered a number of injuries, and were enveloped by the heat. After struggling for a long while, their brains were finally fried under the heat.
The cluster bomb displayed its maximum effectiveness against the zombies when they were all packed together. The moment one exploded, over ten thousand zombies were blasted into nothing.
The zombies seemed to have been shocked by the might of the cluster bombs, as at the next instant, the remaining hundred thousand zombies quickly fled in the direction they came from.
Yue Zhong watched them and frowned slightly: "We didn't manage to wipe out the Z-type. Or in other words, the Z2 inside might still be alive."
If the leader had been killed, the remaining zombie horde would definitely have split and fled in different directions. However, in this situation, they had fled orderly. It was obvious that the Z2 was still in command.
"Leader! Do we chase?" The pilot beside Yue Zhong asked excitedly.
Enemies that cluster together as foolishly as zombies were rare in the apocalypse, and it was the best target for the cluster bombs. That was why the pilot was eager to let the zombies have another round.
Yue Zhong thought for a while before ordering: "Chase, but only maintain the pressure. Use the machine guns to fire at them!"
The Z2 already possessed intelligence, this time, they didn't manage to finish it off in one strike, to find it among the sea of zombies would be extremely hard. However, Yue Zhong knew that he could make use of its death-fearing nature.
If the Z2 was safe, it would definitely not bother about anything else and command the rest of the horde to attack. However, the moment it felt danger, it would abandon everything else to run. It would even activate a troop to protect its own safety. It was very like a human in that sense.
Under Yue Zhong's orders, the 4 Thunder Fighters continued to fire volley after volley into the escaping horde. From time to time, there would a cluster bomb that dropped on the zombie horde, obliterating a large number at one go.
With their chase, the zombies continued to escape.
Until the Thunder Fighters were about to run out of fuel, Yue Zhong then led the Thunder Fighters back to Sakura Town.
"Long live! Long live!!"
"Long live!!"
When the news of Yue Zhong repelling the hundred thousand zombies from Yama County broke, the survivors of Sakura Town instantly went into a joyful uproar. All the soldiers and people came together to celebrate the victory.
At first, they had despaired and lost all hope. Hearing that the zombies have been sent back, they were once again filled with hope.
In the evening, within the Shimazu Clan, the upper echelons of the Shimazu Family gathered together, with all sorts of sumptuous dishes on the table.
These family members looked at Shimazu Mina and Yue Zhong sitting together with a complicated look on their faces. They had witnessed the fury and what this man was capable of. He was someone that had single-handedly dealt with 7 Thunder Fighters. He had also repel the advance of those zombies. The survivors were filled with awe and veneration towards him now. This god-like character was the head of their clan, how could not be amazed. However, while they relished the security, they abhorred the potential of Yue Zhong stealing the Shimazu Clan's power.
Of course, the Shimazu Clan didn't know that Yue Zhong had just repel the hundreds and thousands of zombies, and not truly kill the Z-Type. They didn't even kill all of the zombies. After some time, the zombies would still gather and come back.
After dinner, Shimazu Mina and a few other key members of the clan invited Yue Zhong and his subordinates into a room. Shimazu Mina's eyes sparkled as she smiled sweetly at Yue Zhong before dropping a bomb: "Otto-sama, are you interested in the Yokosuka base?"

Chapter 558: Type 4 Nuclei!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Yokosuka base?" Yue Zhong was stirred when he heard those words.
The Yokosuka base was located 50 kilometers southwest of Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, and it was the largest base of the US Navy in the Western Pacific, and the only aircraft carrier maintenance base. Over there, there were countless warships docked, and prior to the apocalypse, there was even a carrier fleet stationed there.
Other than the American fleet, the Japanese self-defence force had also stationed a large fleet there as well. If Yue Zhong were to get his hands on those, his military might would instantly soar.
The Yokosuka base was the only place for maintenance of aircrafts after all. There were countless advanced tools, machinery and equipment. It was practically a treasure trove.
Yue Zhong stared at Shimazu Mina and his eyes twinkled: "Yokosuka Base is very near Tokyo, and there are over 30 million zombies there right now. How do you propose to head over there? The Kanagawa Prefecture alone would have at least 9 million zombies as well. What do you suggest?"
The Yokosuka base was truly a huge treasure vault left in this apocalyptic world. Almost all the Japanese factions knew about the allure of such a place, but no one dared to covet it.
This was because it was in a prefecture with high human traffic! There were at least 3,000 people per square kilometer. With over 9 million zombies there, regardless of the size of faction, it was a horde that no one dared to face.
Shimazu Mina's eyes shone with a strange light as she explained: "The Kanagawa Prefecture might have over 9 million zombies, but the Yokosuka base would only have about 10 thousand people at most. Once the Sky Fortress is finished, we can make use of it to fly over!"
Initially, Shimazu Fuji had spent much of his resources to procure the 2 diagrams, precisely because he wanted to be able to travel through the skies, and obtain that naval base.
If he had been successful and swallow all the ammunition and machinery, as long as Takama-ga-hara did not mind him, he would have become a huge overlord in Japan as well.
Shimazu Mina looked to Yue Zhong and explained her request: "However, there's a slight problem. The Yokosuka Base might have anti-air defences. We need to send people to conduct reconnaissance. Otherwise, if the Sky Fortress were to meet hostile fire the moment we reach, it would be dangerous for us. Otto-sama, I hope that you can deploy some experts over there to find out what's there first. We have to determine if there are any remnant US troops."
It was of vital important that they made sure of the current situation over at Yokosuka Base. Otherwise, if the Sky Fortress were to be bombarded by anti-air missiles, Yue Zhong would lose his Sky Fortress.
This precious item had been manufactured at the cost of countless resources. If it were destroyed, the Shimazu Clan had no means of manufacturing another one.
Shimazu Mina continued: "Among my subordinates, there's one who managed to escape from the Shizuoka Prefecture. He knows of a small road that leads through the prefecture. The mission is important, but the risks are there. I hope Otto-sama would consider sending his strongest elite soldier to accomplish this task."
They could not rely on the Thunder Fighters to just barge in, because even if the Thunder Fighters were terrifying, if they were bombarded by anti-air missiles, they would likewise be destroyed. After all, the weapons of the strongest army on earth were vastly superior to the goods of the Shimazu Clan.
Yue Zhong thought for a while and nodded: "I got it! I will personally head over there to check things out."
When Shimazu Mina heard that, her face instantly turned to one of horror: "No!! That's too dangerous!! Otto-sama, it's too dangerous!! Please rethink your decision!!"
There were over 3 million zombies in the Shizuoka Prefecture, and over 9 million zombies in the Kanagawa Prefecture. Along the way, who knew how many more towns and zombies were lying in wait. Other than the zombies, as Japan had concentrated efforts on greening and environmental protection, within their lush and thick forests, there were sure to be powerful Mutant Beasts as well.
Even though Yue Zhong was almost a powerful god to Shimazu Mina, she felt that this mission might be beyond his capabilities. After all, a horde was not something a single person could face.
Although there was no love between them, her power was gained through him. Furthermore, he was one of the Shimazu Clan's backers now, if he were to die, the Shimazu Clan would fall into dire straits.
Yue Zhong turned to Yao Yao as he said: "Save your words! I've made up my mind. Yao Yao, I'll leave Ji Qing Wu's protection to you. I'll bring Bai Xiao Sheng, Ida Kyoko and a hundred of the men to conduct this mission. This place will be left to you to guard."
Yao Yao was an Agility-based Evolver that awakened naturally. After consuming the Snake Birth Fruit, she had gained an additional attribute, Strength. As her Level was 60, she was also one of the strongest expert under Yue Zhong.
When she had faced the Type 4 Flame Bird, it wasn't that she wasn't strong, but the Flame Bird was simply too terrifying. This was why she was almost robbed of her life.
"En!" Yao Yao gripped the Biological Armor tightly, as she snorted once in reply.
Yue Zhong then spoke to Shimazu Mina: "I want all the Mutant Beast nuclei on your hands. They're of use to me."
"Hai!" She replied respectfully, and handed him a golden box: "These are all the nuclei that our Shimazu Clan had amassed."
Although they didn't know what the usage of the nuclei was, they had kept a large amount of them. Shimazu Fuji might have died at the hands of a person he wrongly trusted, but it was undeniable that he was a far-sighted and capable man.
Yue Zhong opened up the box, and noticed there were over a few hundred ordinary nuclei, at least 30 Type 2 nuclei, and only about 3 Type 3 nuclei.
Only one was through the sacrifice of countless experts to obtain. The other 2 was gifted by other survivors.
"Ah! That's not right, this is a Type 4 nuclei!!" Yue Zhong caught sight of a black crystal-like nuclei, and he was astonished.
It was the size of a fist, and it was entirely black, as though light was sucked into it. Yue Zhong grabbed it tightly, and could feel the immense strength from within. This was a nuclei that was comparable to the terrifying Flame Bird that he had killed.
Not many people could kill a Type 4 Mutant Beast. Obviously, some lucky chap had come across it and sold it to the Shimazu Clan, before finally landing up in Yue Zhong's hands.
"I've got myself a treasure!" Yue Zhong grinned in satisfaction, and kept them all.
Yue Zhong then handed 4 Evolving Liquid to Shimazu Mina: "This is for you. These are Evolving Liquids. Upon consuming them, you can become an Evolver. There are 4 of them, as an expression of my thanks for the nuclei."
"What? You can become an Evolver?"
"Evolver!! This can allow someone to become an Evolver?!"
"Clan head-sama, please give me one. I'm willing to serve with all my life and strength!"
"Clan head-sama, Hakkaku Kimasa is willing to serve you loyally for all his life!"
The numerous subjects under Shimazu Mina began to plead with passionate voices, proclaiming their loyalty. They hoped that she would bestow the liquid upon them. They knew the meaning of becoming an Evolver, becoming stronger than others, learning more skills than others.
Shimazu Mina kept those 4 Evolving Liquids and smiled with satisfaction. With these 4 tools, she could pull a few more experts closer to the Shimazu's side. Her gaze towards Yue Zhong was now filled with gratitude, veneration and respect.
Early the next morning, Yue Zhong led Bai Xiao Sheng, Ida Kyoko, Muto Shin, and Yuan Tian Gang together with a hundred other subordinates as they left towards the direction of the Shizuoka Prefecture.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
As they moved through the forests, they suddenly heard dense gunshots.
Bai Xiao Sheng frowned, and in a flash, he disappeared from his position. Not long after, he reappeared beside Yue Zhong: "Boss, there are two factions engaged in a fierce battle in the northeast."
The Japanese guide stepped up and spoke: "Sir, we're near the Shizuoka Prefecture. There are many small factions around these parts. Before I left, the largest organization was the Yaro Group. They had over 30,000 survivors then, and 5,000 soldiers."
Yue Zhong's heart stirred and he passed the order: "Go take a look."
Under his orders, a hundred of them quickly made their way towards the sounds of fighting.
In a valley, there were 2 groups of people, with a total number of two to three hundred people engaged in slaughter. They were mostly wielding knives and baseball bats, and other melee weapons. Only a mere handful had guns.
Japan's gun control was also strict, even more so than China. It was hard for the citizens to get their hands on guns. Hence, these people were fighting it out with melee weapons.
Among the chaos, there was a 2m-tall person, who wielded a huge mace of over a few hundred jins. He would flatten anyone in his way, and it was obvious that he was a Strength-based Evolver. As he slaughtered his way through the crowd, it was like he was invincible.

Chapter 559: Chaotic Battle in the Night!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Hai!" Ida Kyoko, Muto Shin immediately responded and led their 50 subordinates over.
The battle was entirely one-sided. Ida Kyoko and Muto Shin had already evolved to Evolvers after using the Evolving Liquid. Their 50 subordinates were all Enhancers of above Level 20 as well, together with their equipment, each and every one of them was strong.
The moment their team met the 2 groups fighting, they crumbled under the might. Even the mace-wielding giant fell to the ground with one kick from Ida Kyoko.
Muto Shin used his Level 2 Treasure Odachi to kill a few of the militants as he shouted: "Surrender, and you'll keep your life!"
His subordinates also echoed his words, and soon, the few hundred militants began to kneel. They looked at the new group with fear in their eyes.
Yue Zhong had only mobilized Ida Kyoko and those Chinese survivors that he had recently drafted into his troops, and they were more than enough to defeat those militants. There was still Bai Xiao Sheng and his own team of elites that had not yet acted. This led the militants to be even more fearful.
The difference in strength between Enhancers and normal people was too vast. In this battle, 3 people on Yue Zhong's side only suffered light injuries, and had killed 30, heavily injured 60, totally suppressing those militants.
There was only death for ordinary folk with no guns when facing Enhancers.
Yue Zhong walked over to the burly and tall giant, as he ordered: "Lead me to your base!"
The giant looked at Yue Zhong fearfully and quickly nodded his reply: "Hai!"
Led by the giant, Yue Zhong and his team came to a small village. It was surrounded by mountains, and only one road led to the outside world. There was a total of about 500 survivors, and they all watched Yue Zhong nervously.
Japan was a country with a dense population. The majority of the citizens were in the cities though. The populations in the outskirts and villages were much lower.. Hence, the survival rate of those people were higher.
Within the most lavish mansion inside the village, Yue Zhong eyed the burly giant indifferently and asked: "What's your name?"
The giant replied carefully: "My name is Fukui Honten."
Yue Zhong asked: "Do you know the Yaro Gang?"
The moment the Yaro Gang was mentioned, Fukui Honten's eyes lit up: "I know! They're the strongest faction around the Shizuoka parts. They have over 40,000 survivors and 10,000 soldiers. No one is their match."
Yue Zhong asked: "Do you know where their central base?"
"I know, it's in the Demon Forest." Fukui Honten was worried that Yue Zhong might not understand the meaning of the Demon Forest, and he continued: "The Demon Forest is about 20km north of here. It is the city of the Yaro Gang, and had been termed as the Demon Forest. Anyone who gets too close, other than the members of the Yaro Gang, would be caught and brought in slaves."
Hearing Fukui Honten's explanation, Yue Zhong was slightly clearer on the current situation.
The Yaro Gang had been an ordinary middle-tier Yakuza gang. Prior to the apocalypse, they weren't anything worth mentioning. Even within the Shizuoka Prefecture, they were far from being the number one gang.
However, when the world changed, many of the upper echelons of the Yaro Gang had fortunately been on holiday, and thus, escaping the majority of the chaos. As the hierarchy and organization systems of the Yakuza were strict and efficient, they quickly arranged for a number of the survivors to escape and settled themselves. Following the passage of time, the Yaro Gang began to expand and grow into a society that made use of slaves.
Within the Demon Forest, only those in the Yaro Gang were the upper-class society, everyone else were deemed as slaves when captured.
Yue Zhong pondered for a while and ordered: "So it was like that. Fukui Honten, I'll assign you as the envoy to go seek an audience with the Yaro Gang. Let them know that Yue Zhong requires a passage through."
The moment Fukui Honten heard that, he hurriedly kneeled down and pleaded: "Sir! Please! Spare my dog life!! If you send me as an envoy, I'll definitely be killed. All the envoys sent to their territories have never made it back alive. Any factions would that had done so were also captured and swallowed by them! Please, let me off!"
"That fierce?" Yue Zhong frowned, he never imagined them to be that vicious, to the extent of killing all envoys even before actually meeting or negotiations.
In most situations, other than a crazed slaughterer, most people would seldom kill the envoys. After all, any faction with the right mindset would seek to co-operate with other factions, even if there were no alliances. Any leader with the ability to think would definitely not just kill envoys.
"Alright, you may go." Yue Zhong waved Fukui Honten away and continued to think.
As night fell, Yue Zhong left the town alone, and moved towards the direction of the Demon forest. He wanted to test the might of the Yaro Gang himself.
In the dark of the night, Yue Zhong took to the darkness like fish to water. He didn't make a single sound as he moved, and his sight was further and wider than in the day. Even his hearing was enhanced.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
As he came to the outskirts of the city inside the forest, he saw a number of Eurocopters currently firing multiple rockets at the cities, destroying a number of structures.
The city that the Yaro Gang had erected inside the forest was made largely out of wood. The houses were constructed with their bare hands, and as the 24 Eurocopters fired their weapons of destruction, the entire city was soon engulfed in flames.
Countless Japanese survivors screamed out from within the flames as they were swallowed and burned. Their screams of agony rang out through the night.
All of a sudden, a sniper bullet that had been enhanced by the Enhance Bullet skill pierced the fuel tank of one Eurocopter. The resulting explosion rang out furiously, as the unfortunate Eurocopter burst into flames, and turned into a flaming ball that crashed towards the ground.
Another sniper bullet pierced the pilot window of another Eurocopter, and turned the 2 pilots into corpses. The Eurocopter wobbled as it spiraled downwards, out of control.
Within the city, there were 2 high level Enhancers that had the Enhance Bullet skills. At the next moment, multiple rockets were fired on their location, blasting them to oblivion.
At the same time, a number of elite soldiers from the Kingdom of God leaped out from the numerous helicopters in the skies. They were equipped with night vision goggles, bulletproof armor, and were armed to the teeth. They charged towards the territory of the Yaro Gang, and began their assault.
The sounds of gunfire and heavy artillery rang out through the night. The city that the Yaro Gang built up painstakingly was being razed to the ground. The Yaro Gang had only simple firearms and lacked other powerful weapons, hence they weren't a match for the Kingdom of God.
Outside the city, there was a simple moat. The elite soldiers of the Kingdom of God quickly constructed a steel bridge and crossed over, charging into the city.
Hong!!
Right as the elite soldiers were about to rush into the city, the Yaro Gang immediately detonated the entrance of the city. The terrifying explosion claimed the lives of the soldiers from the Kingdom of God.
"Fierce!" Yue Zhong witnessed all these and his heart trembled. If he had led his men to attack the Yaro Gang, he might have been the one to suffer such a devastating attack.
The explosions rocked the Kingdom of God for barely a moment, and the rest of the elites continued their assault, as the helicopters in the skies assisted in winning point after point.
The assault helicopters released flammable bombs often, lighting the whole city up, and causing countless Japanese survivors to scream as they burned alive.
Yue Zhong crawled up a huge tree and quietly observed the situation, not intending to make a move.
This was after all an elite force of the Kingdom of God. Even if he was strong, he had no way of facing the entire battalion on his own. The 22 Eurocopters in the skies were enough to blast him to pieces.
"The Yaro Gang is finished!" Yue Zhong eyed the burning city and thought to himself quietly.
The Yaro Gang might have 10,000 soldiers under them, but against 2,000 elites from the Kingdom of God, they were nothing. Both sides had a huge difference in equipment, fighting will, and combat strength.
Other than the Special Forces under Yue Zhong, the rest of his elites were also barely a match for these Kingdom of God soldiers. The main difference was that the equipment they had was superior. Yue Zhong also had lesser armed assault helicopters. After all, China was lacking in aerial vehicles even before the apocalypse.
By now, the soldiers of the Yaro Gang were thoroughly overcome, even if Yue Zhong were to join in the battle, he could at most dispose of a hundred of the Kingdom of God's elites. If he wasn't careful, he might even be killed.
At this time, there was a sudden change in the situation. From a hill, 12 Cobra attack helicopters and 24 Ninja helicopters flew out, joining in the fray against the Kingdom of God's Eurocopters.
(Cobra: https/en./wiki/Bell_AH-1_Cobra
Ninja: https/en./wiki/Kawasaki_OH-1)
At the same time, 8 holes appeared in the side of the hill, and 5,000 soldiers burst out with self-defence uniforms, flanking the Kingdom of God forces from behind.
At this time, the command centre only had 500 Adjudicators and Judges that form an elite Enhancer team. They quickly occupied important channels as they launched their counterattack towards the sudden attack from the Japanese armed forces.

Chapter 560: Takama-ga-hara's 4 Demons!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
A number of flares lit up the surroundings. These Kingdom of God soldiers were after all elites who had undergone rigorous training. Although they had lesser numbers, their fighting strength was not to be underestimated. Each and every one of them had the Gun Specialization skill. Even in the dark, they could take a scary amount of lives.
The 5,000 Japanese self-defense soldiers had ten times the number of elites of the KIngdom of God, however, the tides were in the favour of the Kingdom of God. The moment they clashed, almost 300 people had died instantly. The rest were being suppressed, and every second, there would be an additional death of a Japanese soldier.
Yue Zhong eyed those 500 Kingdom of God members and his heart shook: "Strong!! How did they train to get to this stage? Oh right, they must have changed jobs, definitely through the Novice Villages. That means that the Kingdom of God has already controlled a Novice Village in Europe."
Those Japanese soldiers in the self-defense uniform could not compare to the frontline elites of Yue Zhong's, but he could not deny that they were still strong in their own right. They were at least comparable with the elites of Wuyan Hong. However, even with 10 times the number, they were still being held back by the Kingdom of God elites. This opened Yue Zhong's eyes to how strong the Kingdom of God's forces truly were.
In the skies, the sudden attack of the Cobra and Ninja helicopters managed to destroy 5 Eurocopters.
The remaining 17 turned to face those new enemies, and begun to engage in an all-out clash.
Those 17 Eurocopters were less than half of the fleet that had suddenly appeared, however, the pilots controlling the Eurocopters displayed their expertise, complementing each other in formation, and begun to take the enemy's aircraft.
In the skies, there would be explosions from time to time, as the helicopters blow up one by one under the ferocious attacks of the Eurocopters.
A large number of the crashing helicopters were the Japanese helicopters, although a few Eurocopters also fell at the retaliation of the Japanese's side.
The Kingdom of God was the one that suffered a sudden sneak attack, and had suffered a huge loss at the start. However, they managed to reclaim their advantage through their experience and superb control, once more turning the tide to their favour.
The elite soldiers that were in the midst of assaulting the Yaro Gang were also beginning to retreat. The moment those soldiers returned to their site, they would definitely overcome the sudden attackers.
Yue Zhong watched as the soldiers from the Kingdom of God relied on their strength and tactics to hang on and turn the situation around, and he felt a chill: "They're truly terrifying! Novice Village. I must definitely obtain one!"
Based on his knowledge, he knew that Jiang Lei City only had one, and from the captives from the Kingdom of God, he knew that there was also one under the control of the Kingdom of God over at Europe. They had just obtained it not long ago, in fact.
It was because they managed to gain the Novice Village that those Adjudicators and Judges managed to obtain such strength. With just 500 people, they were able to overcome and suppress over 5,000 enemies.
On a hill that was shrouded by darkness, there were 3 men and 1 woman standing quietly. These 4 emitted a strong aura, and behind them, there were 36 other men in ancient god gowns, and 12 women in witch clothes. They were all standing respectfully.
One of the forefront males was 2m, built like a bear. He had short hair, and multiple scars all over his face and hands. His gaze was fiery and excited as he looked down at the battle, proclaiming passionately: "Strong! They truly deserve to be called Europe's strongest, Kingdom of God! They could actually resist our 5,000-strong troops with only 500 of them!"
This burly man was one of the 6 Demons in Takama-ga-hara, the Tyrant Demon Yokoshima Fuwa. He was a triple-attribute Evolver of Strength, Agility and Endurance, and was at Level 69. He had the Second Order skill: Dragoon Transformation. He had single-handedly destroyed a survivor base with over 3,000 survivors, and done in 2 companies of self-defence troops. His combat strength was truly frightening.
One young man of ordinary built and looks, but with blond hair, hugged a Falcon Sniper and eyed the Eurocopters in the skies with a hungry look. He licked his lips and said: "The Kingdom of God is truly strong. If we're just talking about the might of our factions, our Takama-ga-hara is definitely not a match for them. However, this is Japan. Regardless of how strong they are, there's a limit to the amount of troops they can place here. Today, let's teach them a lesson. Let them have a taste of the true might of Japan. Hideo, do it! Kill them all! Let them witness the strength of the Takama-ga-hara!"
This young man with the Falcon Rifle was also one of the 6 Demons of Takama-ga-hara, the Gun Demon Kanagawa Soma. He was a dual-attribute Evolver of Spirit and Agility. His level was 64, and he had the Second Order Sniper Specialization, as well as the Second Order Strengthen Bullet. He was the strongest sniper in Takama-ga-hara, and with the assistance of the Falcon Sniper, he could easily destroy a tank from a 3 km distance. Many enemies of the Takama-ga-hara had fallen at his hands.
A bespectacled, handsome young man with blond hair and wearing a suit nodded slightly, and turned to order: "Move out! As per the plan, wipe them out."
This bespectacled man was the Air Demon of the 6 Demons, Kanzaki Hideo. He was a Spirit, Agility and Vitality triple-attribute Evolver, of Level 67 and had the Second Order Air Manipulation.
The moment he gave the order, the 4 Demons led their 12 subordinates downwards.
Kanagawa Soma quickly came to a high ground and aimed at one of the Eurocopters in the skies. He laughed coldly and pulled his trigger, activating his Second Order Strengthen Bullets as he muttered: "Die! Scum!"
A shooting-star like projectile immediately shot through the Eurocopter, and exploded in an earth-shaking manner, turning the helicopter into nothing by pieces of scrap metal.
This wasn't a bullet that hit the fuel tank that caused the explosion, but rather, a bullet that went straight through the body and exploded. If it was a discussion about power, the bullet that Kanagawa Soma fired was already more lethal than a rocket.
After destroying one, he quickly disappeared from his position.
At the next moment, countless rockets blasted this entire area, but Kanagawa Soma was already nowhere to be seen.
The Tyrant Demon Yokoshima Fuwa had activated his Dragoon Transformation, turning into a powerful Dragoon covered entirely in black scales and wielding a dragon's tail in his hands that had turned into sharp claws.
Yokoshima Fuwa became like a spectre that charged right into the midst of the Kingdom of God elites. His speed reached a terrifying 24 times that of a normal person upon transforming, exceeding even that of a Type 2 Lightning.
However, even with his insane speed, the 400-over Kingdom of God soldiers did not break formation, and bombarded him with bullets. As a result, he suffered some hits, although the bullets only ricochet off him, not injuring him in the slightest.
In a few breaths, Yokoshima Fuwa had already reached the main command site, and his claws were slashing left and right, directly decapitating an unfortunate soldier.
In less than 10 seconds, the frontline Adjudicators had been annihilated by Yokoshima Fuwa alone.
Hong ! Hong!
All of a sudden, numerous heavy fire bombarded the area Yokoshima Fuwa was in, as over a hundred Kingdom of God soldiers gave up on the Japanese soldiers and turned their attention to this monster. The grenades and heavy fire enveloped the entire area, swallowing Yokoshima Fuwa.
The dust had not yet settled, when Yokoshima Fuwa shot out like an arrow, and leaped into the midst of the elite soldiers from the Kingdom of God. He slapped his massive hands around, and the heads of the soldiers would be separated from their bodies. It was as though he wasn't affected by the explosion at all.
Yokoshima Fuwa had truly been enveloped by that explosion, and a grenade had actually blown apart at his left hand. However, his Endurance was truly high, furthermore, after his Dragoon Transformation, his defence was abnormally high. Even when he was riddled with bullets, he just felt an itch, and a slight pain when the grenade exploded. They weren't enough to harm him.
Under his frenzied assault, the soldiers of the Kingdom of God began to crumble, and their defensive line was being torn apart.
12 Deities followed behind Yokoshima Fuwa as they began their assault on the rest of the troops. Under their skills, the soldiers of the Kingdom of God began to fall.
"Long live Takama-ga-hara!"
"Long live Japan!"
"Love live Takama-ga-hara!"
The Japanese soldiers began to chant and holler with excitement as they attacked the Kingdom of God soldiers.
Yokoshima Fuwa was the main attack force, while the Air Demon Kanzaki Hideo took out the experts of the Kingdom of God silently with his troops and their abilities.
Many of the Judges would feel a crushing feeling in their hearts the moment they activated their abilities, or were struck by poison arrows. No one had the chance to exhibit their prowess.
This time, the last Demon that had come along for the mission had surrounded the elite soldiers from the Kingdom of God with her Dieties. She was the Shinobu Demon, Tenpyo Saka.

Chapter 561: Beheading Gun Demon!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Tenpyo Saka was a beautiful young woman dressed entirely in black, with her hair in a single ponytail. Her exquisite features were expressionless, and her figure was captivating, with a pair of huge and perky breasts that threatened to burst out of the clothes.
She was a Spirit and Agility dual-attribute Evolver, reaching a level of 66. Her main skill was the Second Order Stealth, as well as 5 different shinobi-related skills. The Second Order Stealth caused her to be virtually undetectable in the dark. At the same time, she could twist the perception of others while she was moving. As long as she didn't attack, it was hard for anyone to realize what had hit them. If she stayed still and didn't move, even Yue Zhong who was a Spirit-based Evolver would not be able to determine her existence.
She was like a ghost in the dark, watching and waiting silently. From time to time, any unfortunate Kingdom of God soldiers that crossed her path would find their hearts pierced by a sudden sword, or their heads decapitated.
Although she was not as overbearing as Yokoshima Fuwa, the number of experts fallen at Tenpyo Saka's hands were not little.
The 4 Demons of Takama-ga-hara were all apex existences among Evolvers. The moment they joined in the fray, the Kingdom of God was basically suffering casualties one after another. The tides were once again turned, except this time, it was at the hands of these 4.
Of course, if it were just them against the 24 assault helicopters and 3,000 elite soldiers of the Kingdom of God, they would also just be charging to their deaths. However, with the 5,000 Japanese soldiers behind them, as well as the 30 assault helicopters on their side, they absolutely possessed the means to win the battle.
"These guys are strong! These Japanese Demons…" Yue Zhong watched as the 4 Demons slaughtered their way through their enemies, and his eyes were filled with shock. They were similar to him in terms of strength, and each one of them was more than enough to deal with a small troop.
The world was vast, and experts were plenty. Every corner of the world boasted their own talents and pride. These 4 Demons were the geniuses of geniuses in Japan.
He eyed them and a killing intent flashed past his eyes: "They must be killed!"
The battle strength of these 4 Japanese Demons were too strong, if they were allowed to live, they could become an obstacle to Yue Zhong in the future. After all, a mountain cannot hold two tigers, Yue Zhong still wanted more resources out of Japan. Hence, he could only snatch it from the hands of others.
"The most threatening one would be that sniper!" Yue Zhong saw another assault helicopter in the skies being destroyed by a single bullet, and a killing intent arose in his heart.
Gun Demon Kanagawa Soma's destructive abilities were too terrifying. Yue Zhong might die in one hit if he wasn't careful. He looked towards the direction where the bullet came from, and quickly flitted through the darkness.
Yue Zhong had done his fair share of sniping, and he could tell the possible direction which Kanagawa Soma might flee in. He settled on a position and summoned a clone, sending the clone towards the other direction.
With the clone, he would see what the clone sees, just that he would not feel any pain suffered by the clone.
As he ran towards the location, he continued to observe the skies, watching out for the next shot.
After 5 minutes, another beam of light shot out from another side of the hill, causing an Eurocopter to burst into flames and crashing into the ground.
"It's there!" Yue Zhong eyed the part of the hill, and activated his Shadow Steps. His speed was pushed to his maximum limit, and he charged over.
Yue Zhong's clone also made its way towards that direction.
Very soon, the location where the shot came from was bombarded by countless projectiles. The hill was shaken, and bits of earth blew up all around.
"Got him!" With his enhanced night vision, Yue Zhong saw the Gun Demon Kanagawa Soma leading a team of 12 subordinates towards a location. His eyes flashed with joy and he quickly shot after him.
"Enemy! Kill him!" As one of the 6 Demons of Takama-ga-hara, Kanagawa Soma was strong and he had the Night Vision ability as well. Discovering Yue Zhong, he barked out an order, and prepared his Falcon Sniper to aim at Yue Zhong.
The moment he took aim, Yue Zhong felt an incredible sense of danger. He could tell that if he were hit, then even with his Endurance of over 194 points, plus the Type 3 Beast Hide, Level 4 Defensive Vest as well as his passive Steel Body, he would not be able to block it fully.
He immediately evaded to one side, hiding behind a tree, making use of the surrounding fauna to get closer to Kanagawa Soma.
"He's damn fast! He's actually faster than an Agility-based Evolver like me!" Kanagawa Soma felt a chill creep up his back at the sight of Yue Zhong's speed.
The 12 subordinates following Kanagawa Soma were his personal guards, every one of them possessed a Level 3 ability, their Enhancement levels at least 40 and above.
One of them quickly slapped the ground, and activated his Plant Manipulation activity, causing a long vine to shoot out towards Yue Zhong.
The rest of the 11 soldiers quickly fired their rifles. They knew that sweeping fire was a more effective method against a speedy existence like Yue Zhong. After all, they had no way of locking on his position, and could only rely on a rain of bullets to hit him.
Kanagawa Soma wielding his Falcon Sniper and took a deep breath to calm himself down, his eyes cold and his focus pushed to its maximum. He could tell that Yue Zhong was a peak-level expert like him, and he might only have one chance to fire a bullet.
"Powerful!" Kanagawa Soma had not fired yet, but the pressure he emitted caused Yue Zhong to feel the danger. He had to maintain his own focus, otherwise if he was hit, he would definitely suffer. He forced himself to keep moving at a high speed.
Yue Zhong was testing the waters, trying to get close to Kanagawa Soma. After all, snipers were weak in close combat. Most top snipers would allocate their precious skill points into their sniping abilities. That was why they would lose out in close combat.
Yue Zhong had just gotten closer when he suddenly felt an intense danger. His heart turned cold, and he twisted towards another tree and leaped back.
A beam of light shot past where Yue Zhong was just a millisecond and caused the tree behind to explode into pieces. Had Yue Zhong been slightly slower, he would have been pierced by that bullet, and his fate would have been sealed.
Dodging that life-threatening shot, he pulled out his own assault rifle, and fired a few bursts towards the general direction Kanagawa Soma was at.
2 Level 40 Enhancers with the Telekinesis ability quickly conjured up psychic barriers to block the bullets.
Since Kanagawa Soma was adept at far-range combat, his subordinates would cover his weaknesses. Should an enemy get close to their Gun Demon, any high level expert could easily kill him. However, if he and his team could pull the distance apart again, even the Tyrant Demon would not be a match for the Gun Demon.
"Strong! Too bad, you have to die!" Yue Zhong leaped behind, and his hands shone with the glow of the Second Order Devil Flame, as 2 mighty Devil Flame Spears appeared and shot towards Kanagawa Soma like shooting stars.
"Be careful!!" Kanagawa Soma's expression turned to one of horror as he rolled backwards, dodging behind a huge rock.
The 2 Devil Flame Spears collided with the psychic barrier erected by those 2 Enhancers and instantly incinerated them, enveloping the 2 Enhancers in flames.
As they began to burn, they screamed out in spine-chilling agony, and were soon turned to ash.
Seeing this, everyone's face fell and they quickly dove for cover.
Kanagawa Soma shouted loudly from behind the rock: "Friend! I'm the Gun Demon Kanagawa Soma from Takama-ga-hara. Why are you attacking me? You shouldn't be someone from the Kingdom of God. Most of the Envoys and Apostles should be in Europe, Africa, India and The Middle East. As long as you join us, we're willing to confer you the title of a Demon as well. Food and women will be yours. Whatever you want, the Takama-ga-hara would provide. You'll get the best treatment in the world."
With such an insane speed and a terrifying Second Order flame ability, Kanagawa Soma immediately came to the conclusion that he wasn't Yue Zhong's match. He had tried to switch tactics to try coax him. After all, an expert like him would be welcome everywhere.
Yue Zhong remained silent and quickly sent out a roaring tornado of flames towards where Kanagawa Soma was.
Kanagawa Soma also had the Danger Perception skill, and he could instantly feel an intense sense of crisis. He immediately leaped to another location.
The fearsome fiery tornado consumed the location that Kanagawa SOma was just at, burning even that huge rock, causing it to split. The 4 other elites of the Takama-ga-hara were incinerated.
Kanagawa Soma was an Agility-based Evolver after all, and even after expending all his strength to dodge, he was still hit in the shoulder by the Devil Flame. The patch began to burn, spreading to his head, and caused his hair to burn.
"Ah!! Save me!!! Save me!!" His face turned to horror, and he started using his right hand to slap at his head and shoulder, as he began to wail in fright and pain.
"Go to hell!" Yue Zhong appeared in a flash, and pulled out his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade to slice at the frantic Kanagawa Soma. With the flash of his blade, the head of the Gun Demon was removed from his body, and the strong Japanese Demon of the Takama-ga-hara fell at Yue Zhong's hands.

Chapter 562: Battling Tenpyo Saka!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
After chopping off Kanagawa Soma's head, Yue Zhong pointed to another of his personal guards, and a Devil Flame fireball shot out, instantly turning the unfortunate expert to ash.
"Quick, run!!" The remaining 7 Takama-ga-hara experts shouted out to one another and darted into the forests, escaping for their lives.
Yue Zhong pulled out his Stinger and fired 4 times, causing the brains of 4 of the Agility-based experts. After that, he used his terrifying speed to chase up to the remaining 3, killing them one by one.
Having wiped out the entire team, Yue Zhong quickly retrieved all their equipment and items, before using his Devil Flame to burn the rest of the bodies.
With a Demon status in Takama-ga-hara, Kanagawa Soma had a number of decent equipment. There were at least 6 pieces of Level 4 Treasures on him. Other than those, there was a valuable Level 3 Defense Vest, which possessed 10 to all attributes. It was a truly precious item.
Yue Zhong swiftly headed back to the battlefield, which had reached an intense level.
The elite soldiers of the Kingdom of God were continuously pouring out from within the city to deal with the soldiers of the Takama-ga-hara. All sorts of weapons and explosives were utilized in the clash.
Tyrant Demon Yokoshima Fuwa had brought his team of 12 elite soldiers of above Level 40 to fight, but they had been wiped out. He personally had been injured barely, and fortunately for his Endurance, he had only suffered injuries and wasn't wiped out yet. He continued to slaughter his way through the troops, killing any Kingdom of God soldiers he laid his hands on.
The 5,000 elite soldiers of the Yaro Gang had been thoroughly defeated by the Kingdom of God elites, and they could only retaliate from time to time.
Since the Gun Demon Kanagawa Soma had been killed by Yue Zhong, the assault helicopters in the air had begun their fierce retaliation, and a number of the Japanese assault aircraft began to be destroyed.
On the ground, the 3 Demons of Takama-ga-hara were holding the advantage over the battlefield, but in the skies, the Kingdom of God's assault helicopters were basically overpowering the other aircrafts. The battle was in a stalemate.
"Dogs biting dogs!" Yue Zhong watched the intense battle and pressed a button. It was a radio wave transmission device. The moment he pressed the button, his subordinates over at Yama County over 150 km away would receive his location.
"Which side should I help? Both the Kingdom of God and Takama-ga-hara are my enemies. Letting them wear each other down would be the best for me. Since the Takama-ga-hara is gaining the advantage, I shall dispose of some of their men then."
Yue Zhong glanced at his surroundings and came to a high vantage point of about 2km away from the battlefield. He then whisked out his Falcon Sniper, and took aim at one of the Takama-ga-hara elite soldiers, before pulling the trigger.
Following the loud gunshot, the plant-manipulating Takama-ga-hara soldier, that was over Level 40 and had just torn a Kingdom of God soldier into two, had his head blasted apart.
Yue Zhong's sight in the dark was extremely vast, and could encompass an area of over 2 km away. A single bullet of his could take down a Level 40 elite of the Takama-ga-hara, this immediately caused the higher-ups present to be wary.
The Air Demon Kanzaki Hideo discovered something amiss when the Level 40 elite was sniped, and he hollered with an ugly expression: "Sniper!! He's a powerful one! He's at least 2 km away, does the Kingdom of God still have someone like that hidden?!"
A single powerful sniper was enough to turn the tides of a battle. Gun Demon Kanagawa Soma and Yue Zhong were prime examples of such snipers.
Kanzaki Hideo made use of an earpiece microphone to pass an order: "Saka! Go take care of that sniper!"
From time to time, the powerful shots of the sniper rifle rang out through the air, and each time, the head of an elite Takama-ga-hara soldier would burst open. This was affecting the morale of the soldiers from the Takama-ga-hara. Kanzaki Hideo came to the judgment that this sniper had to be dealt with, otherwise, they would suffer terrible losses.
By this time, over a dozen people from Takama-ga-hara had been sniped by Yue Zhong. Their rate of advance was slowing down. The Kingdom of God soldiers were still engaging in their assault on Yokoshima Fuwa, causing the Tyrant Demon to have no choice but to dodge. His killing speed also decreased drastically.
Each bullet carried a force that could not be underestimated. Yokoshima Fuwa could easily defend against a few hundred shots, but as they piled on, reaching thousands and even tens of thousands, it was still enough to injured him. Other than the bullets, there were explosives and rocket launchers as well. Even in his Dragoon state, he could not just blindly take on a hit from a rocket.
Tenpy Saka immediately disappeared into the night and brought her remaining 7 witches towards Yue Zhong's location.
"Enemy? Witches?" Yue Zhong's choice of location allowed him a good view of the battle field, and he knew that sniping the elites of Takama-ga-hara would invoke some response. Therefore, as he continually observed the surroundings, he noticed 7 female Enhancers above Level 30 decked in witches' clothings closing in on him.
These women were all ordinary looking, and had even statures even more burly than men. In fact, other than those female Evolvers that had naturally awakened, most high level Enhancers had buff bodies.
The 7 of them flickered with killing intent, launching their individual abilities towards Yue Zhong. Each of them had speeds surpassing an S2, and could easily take down the special forces of pre-apocalypse times. When they joined hands, they were more than enough to take down most snipers.
"Too weak!" Yue Zhong watched as they drew closer with a cold light in his eyes, pulling out his Black Tooth Blade and waved it in front of him, instantly slicing 2 of the witches in two.
The remaining 5 were unfazed by the tragic fate of their comrade, instead, they became enraged and launched their attacks more fiercely.
Yue Zhong's blade slightly quivered, and 5 blade beams shot out towards the 5 witches. Their bodies were instantly sliced into many parts, fresh blood splattering everywhere.
Just as Yue Zhong slaughtered the remaining 5 witches, a sense of danger arose in his heart. He hurriedly activated his Shadow Steps, and leaped to one side. He abandoned his blade, while shooting for a wide area like a cannonball.
Without a sound, or even the slightest sign, a dagger appeared as it slashed towards Yue Zhong, turning in a mysterious trajectory that sliced through his right shoulder.
The sharp dagger immediately released some brilliant light, tearing apart the Type 3 Mutant Beast hide and his Level 4 Defense Vest, until it hit Yue Zhong's skin with a crisp sound, not able to proceed further.
Yue Zhong's Endurance was extremely high, reaching 194 points. Coupled with his Steel Body, even normal bullets could not penetrate his skin. That sharp dagger had sliced through his Type 3 Mutant Beast hide and his Level 4 Defense Vest, and had lost much of its power by the time it reached his skin.
Yue Zhong saw the assassin clearly, it was precisely that beautiful and petite woman, with that incredibly sexy body. She was the Shinobi Demon Tenpyo Saka.
Yue Zhong's pupils constricted as he cast his Art of Fear, sending an oppressive Spirit attack towards her. Against Agility and Strength-type opponents, the Art of Fear was extremely useful.
Tenpyo Saka was, however, an Agility and Spirit based Evolver, and Yue Zhong's Art of Fear didn't affect her much.
As her attack had failed, Tenpyo Saka immediately flashed, intending to disappear into the forest. Retreating the moment an attempt failed, this was the assassin way for Tenpyo Saka. She had assassinated many enemies stronger than her even prior to becoming one of the 6 Demons of Takama-ga-hara. She could survive and killed so many, because she was that prudent.
"You want to leave! Not so easy!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, as he activated his Shadow Steps and dashed towards her.
When he activated that skill, Yue Zhong's speed was pushed to the maximum, even 30% faster than an Agility-based Evolver like Tenpyo Saka.
In a few breaths, Yue Zhong had caught up to her, and he wielded his weapon, slicing through the air.
A cloud of smoke suddenly burst out from her body, enveloping her entirely. This was one of the skills that she had, Ninjutsu: Smoke Release.
The dense smoke blocked Yue Zhong's sight, and his blade landed on thin air. He held his breath, and activated his Devil Flame Armor, instantly preventing the smoke from touching him. He was worried that the smoke might contain poison.
Under the cover of the Second Order Stealth skill, Tenpyo Saka disappeared amidst the smoke.
Yue Zhong looked around, noting that her presence had disappeared entirely. Even someone as strong as him could not detect the user of a Second Order Stealth skill.
"Strong! This woman truly deserves to be one of the Demons of the Takama-ga-hara." Yue Zhong glanced left and right, while feeling a chill in his heart. His perception was strong, and in the dark, it was enhanced further. Nothing could escape his senses. Yet this Tenpyo Saka had managed to escape his detection. She was truly a terrifying shinobi.
He thought silently: "She must still be somewhere near. If she left quickly, there would be the sound of wind. Since I can't hear anything, she must be staying still, or moving slowly."

Chapter 563: Capturing Tenpyo Saka!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
"Since you won't come out, I'll force you out!" Yue Zhong swept his gaze around, and immediately activated his Devil Flame. With his right hand, he sent out a long burning tornado outwards, and the woods started burning.
Since Yue Zhong had no means of detecting the Shinobi Demon in her Stealth, he had to resort to extreme measures. Lighting the entire forest would force her to reveal herself at some point.
Yue Zhong's sense were unable to pick up any trace of Tenpyo Saka was because she was moving slowly and could distort his perception. The moment she made any abrupt movements, Yue Zhong would discover her.
The moment the blazing tornado swept past a certain patch of the forest, there was a silhouette that suddenly burst towards the distance.
"Found you!" The moment the silhouette appeared, Yue Zhong flashed, and charged towards the direction.
In a span of 10 breaths, Yue Zhong had caught up to Tenpyo Saka and without mercy, he launched an assault towards her.
From her body, a cloud of smoke billowed out, blocking his sense of sight.
"The same trick won't work twice!" Yue Zhong laughed coldly, and cast his Devil Flame, causing 10 fireballs to burst out through the smoke, aiming for Tenpyo Saka.
Tenpyo Saka relied on the Ninjutsu: Smoke Escape and coupled with her Second Order Stealth to confuse Yue Zhong's sense. This would allow her to escape. Without the defensive cover of the smoke, it caused her to be unable to employ her escaping arts.
Facing the 10 fireballs, Tenpyo Saka had no choice but to raise her hands to block her face. She twisted her body and managed to evade most of them.
Unfortunately, 3 of them still managed to hit her squarely, and began to burn her Shinobi clothes.
She quickly grabbed her clothes and tore it off, revealing a silver layer of a Type 3 Mutant Beast hide.
The black Shinobi clothes were incinerated into ashes.
In the dark, the silver Mutant Beast hide accentuated Tenpyo Saka's incredible body, giving her an even more alluring charm, like a demoness in the night.
Tenpyo Saka stared fixedly at Yue Zhong, speaking in a clear and melodious voice: "You're not from the Kingdom of God!"
Although the Kingdom of God was currently the leading organization in the world, their roots were in the west. Their core members were all Europeans, there would be very few Asians that were as powerful in their upper echelons.
Yue Zhong stared back and said: "Surrender! You're not my match."
Tenpyo Saka nodded without expression: "En! You're strong. To deal with you, it would take the leader of Takama-ga-hara Tetsuo Nendori-sama to handle you personally."
There were 5 Demons as well as the Lord Demon of Takama-ga-hara, a total of 6 Demon-class experts.
This time, in order to catch the Kingdom of God off guard, Takama-ga-hara had deployed 4 of their Demons. If they had launched a joint effort against Yue Zhong, he would have at most a 30% chance of surviving. However, alone, Yue Zhong had confidence in dealing with any of them.
Tenpyo Saka asked: "Why are you helping the Kingdom of God? They're an organization over at Europe. They came to Japan to seize our space and resources. They're our common enemy!"
"Wait till you surrender, or become a corpse, I'll tell you then!" Yue Zhong's eyes flashed coldly, and activated his Gravity Manipulation. A two-fold gravitational force pressed down on Tenpyo Saka's body, as Yue Zhong's Black Tooth Blade swung towards her.
She continued to face him without any expressions, instead, she raised a dagger to block, before her entire frame was sent flying back a few meters. She then tapped the ground lightly and changed directions to flee.
Her assassination skills were terrifying. If comparing techniques, even Yue Zhong could not compare to this born-and-bred assassin. However, in a frontal clash, she wasn't Yue Zhong's match. She knew this clearly.
Yue Zhong laughed coldly, and his body flashed, chasing right after Tenpyo Saka like a lightning bolt.
Just as Yue Zhong was about to reach her, she reached behind with her hands, and 10 kunai shot towards him.
Yue Zhong used the huge Black Tooth Blade to deflect the kunai, and they were sent tumbling away. He appeared in front of Tenpyo Saka, and his left hand shot out like a cannon towards her.
At such a close distance, Yue Zhong's fist surpassed the sound barrier and caused a powerful sonic boom as it came crashing into Tenpyo Saka's back. She was sent flying into a tree, before she spat out a mouthful of blood and crumpled to the ground. Evidently, even with the Type 3 Mutant Beast hide and Level 3 Defense Vest, she had been gravely injured by that single fist from Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong's hands flipped, and a collar made of bombs appeared in his hands. He then fixed it onto Tenpyo Saka's neck.
The collar bomb was a means of shackling Enhancers and Evolvers. To these high level experts, ordinary cuffs were of no use. Only with these advanced products would the experts be obedient.
The ingenuity behind the creation came from a Japanese film . The moment one wore such a collar, other than those with the Metal Manipulation or Electricity Manipulation abilities, or insane body tempering abilities, most other Enhancers and Evolvers had no means of fending against it.
Yue Zhong eyed Tenpyo Saka and barked coldly: "Get up! I know you're awake. Don't think of killing me. If I die, after 3 days, that collar bomb will automatically go off. No one can save you."
She opened her eyes and stared at Yue Zhong coldly: "What do you want?"
Yue Zhong waved his right hand and a transparent silk shot out to wrap around her body, at the same time, sucking her Stamina: "You can stay here obediently."
After capturing Tenpyo Saka, Yue Zhong whisked out his Falcon Sniper, returning to his vantage point and resumed sniping the elites of the Takama-ga-hara.
As for Tenpyo Saka, she was tied to the tree and watched Yue Zhong kill the elites of her faction, maintaining her calm and silence.
In the battlefield, one Deity had charged out in madness, dodging countless bullets and killed 3 Adjudicators one after another. He even destroyed one defense point. Under his relentless assault, the Kingdom of God soldiers were slowly forced back.
Behind him, a large number of Japanese troops hollered out in triumph, and rushed forwards to conquer the lines.
Peng! Just as the Deity was about to kill another soldier of the Kingdom of God, his brains were blasted apart, and the red and white brain matter splattered onto the floor.
Witnessing such a horrifying scene, the Japanese soldiers immediately lost their composure, and began to hide behind cover, not daring to advance.
Kanzaki Hideo heard the gunshot and his expression fell: "Did Saka fail? Shit, we miscalculated. Seems like there's a Demon-level expert behind the scenes. What do we do now?"
At that time, both sides were already embroiled in their final charge, should one side fall, then it was the final result.
The Takama-ga-hara Demons were strong but they weren't military tacticians. They had not much preparations in terms of strategic warfare. He had already deployed all his troops, and even the Demon experts had rushed out to suppress the Kingdom of God soldiers. If they were to retreat now, their entire troop would fall.
Yue Zhong continued to snipe a few more Takama-ga-hara elites before he stopped. He required both sides to be at an equilibrium. Only then he would come in at the last possible moment to sweep them both up.
Half an hour later, 4 Thunder Fighters flew under the cover of night and landed near Yue Zhong's position. Yao Yao and 23 other elite soldiers stepped out.
Tenpyo Saka saw the 4 Thunder Fighters and her cold expression finally showed some hint of agitation: "Thunder Fighters! You guys are from the Kingdom of God?!"
The Thunder Fighters were the products of the Kingdom of God, and were the worst nightmares of their enemies. Takama-ga-hara had also tried to devise ways to deal with the Thunder Fighters, however, other than the Gun Demon Kanagawa Soma, not even 3 could deal with them. Of which, one happened to be the leader Tetsuo Nendori.
When the elites came down, they shot Tenpyo Saka a glance, before looking back at Yue Zhong. Their eyes flashed with a strange glint, but they were intelligent enough not to say anything.
"Boss! I'm here!" After another half an hour, Bai Xiao Sheng led the group of elites, combined with the Japanese and Chinese survivors, and the newly subjugated armed forces of 600 over.
While there were 600 members of the armed forces, over 500 of them were a motley bunch. They were just barely fitter and burlier than the rest. The true Enhancers amongst them were only 20, and they were pathetically weak.
However, like this, there looked to be over 700 people under Yue Zhong.
He ordered the pilot: "Good! Wei He! I order you to launch an assault on that group over there. Make use of the cluster bomb to annihilate them!"
"Yes! Sir!" Wei He saluted Yue ZHong and quickly piloted the Thunder Fighters over.
Under Yue Zhong's orders, the 4 Thunder Fighters immediately joined in the fray.
At that time, after an intense clash, only 2 Eurocopters were left, as the 4 Thunder Fighters approached, all the Kingdom of God soldiers cheered, while the forces of the Takama-ga-hara felt the blood drain from their faces, their eyes full of despair.

Chapter 564: Defeating the 2 armies!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The moment the Thunder Fighters entered the fray, they begun to release their cluster bombs and incendiary bombs. In an instant, the entire region rang out with explosions, as dust rose in the air, and flames blazed outwards. The entire battlefield shook from the impact, and numerous Japanese troops were either blasted apart or swallowed by the flames.
The soldiers of the Takama-ga-hara had fought for over 2 hours, and they were getting exhausted. Having reached their limits, and facing the brunt of such destruction, they collapsed entirely, and began to run for their lives.
Kanzaki Hideo saw it and he sighed and quickly ordered: "Everyone!! It's our loss!! Fuwa, retreat!!"
At this time, the Takama-ga-hara had no means to deal with aerial attacks, plus the 6 aircrafts were more than capable of suppressing all the troops of Takama-ga-hara. Even if Kanzaki Hideo and Yokoshima Fuwa were strong, they could not turn the tides around with just them.
At the same time, Yokoshima Fuwa's Dragoon Transformation had ended, and he had almost expended all his strength. If he continued to battle on, he would definitely face some danger.
Those transformation abilities would grant a huge boost in strength for a short period of time. However, when it ended, the Enhancers would be weakened for a period of time. During this period, they would be reduced to less than half of their fighting capabilities.
After receiving that order, Yokoshima Fuwa immediately turned around and escaped into the darkness.
Yokoshima Fuwa, such a Demon-level expert, actually abandoning his subordinates to run. This led the Takama-ga-hara's already collapsing mentality to crumble even further. All the Japanese soldiers lost their will, and began to escape in various directions.
"Attack!! Attack!! Eradicate them!!"
The astute commander from the Kingdom of God saw the retreating Japanese and swiftly brought his troops to give chase. If they didn't annihilate these Takama-ga-hara soldiers, in the future, this faction would definitely become an obstacle to the Kingdom of God. Hence they had to go all out to wipe them out with this chance.
As the soldiers from the Kingdom of God gave chase, a large number of the Japanese soldiers fell and died.
"Do it!" At that moment, Yue Zhong ordered coldly.
Under his orders, the 4 Thunder Fighters suddenly switched targets and gunned down the remaining 2 Eurocopters.
"Why?!"
They had no chance to react, and were destroyed completely, becoming 2 flaming balls as they crashed to the ground.
"What's going on?" Seeing the 2 Eurocopters being destroyed, all the soldiers from the Kingdom of God felt bewildered.
At the next moment, the Thunder Fighters that were assumed to be the trump card of the Kingdom of God began to fire upon the ground without caring for sides, bombing the soldiers and blasting them.
On the battlefield, the sounds of explosions rang out constantly, as many elites from both the Kingdom of God and Takama-ga-hara were blasted to pieces. Many soldiers from both sides fell under the relentless assault of the 4 Thunder Fighters.
Jonas, the commander of the Kingdom of God's Japanese Arm , screamed out in anguish: "How did it become like this? How did it become like this?! Aren't they our comrades?!"
The elites of the Kingdom of God had charged out from behind their cover to chase after the Japanese troops. Who knew, all of a sudden, the Thunder Fighters had suddenly unleashed carnage and rained destruction down upon everyone on the ground. The entire battlefield turned into a sea of flames, as countless soldiers screamed and wailed out, before being burnt to death. It was practically a scene from hell.
Under that horrifying assault, the Kingdom of God troops were also blasted and they lost all sense of order, each and every soldier dispersing and escaping in various directions.
At this time, Yue Zhong came charging forward with his 700 subordinates, launching a frenzied assault on the retreating Japanese and escaping Kingdom of God soldiers.
By now, both sides were already exhausted, and their morale low. Out of nowhere, Yue Zhong's forces might be a motley bunch, but they came charging out with high spirits and ferocious intent.
The intense battle continued for another 2 hours, before finally settling down. Yue Zhong had captured 2,000 Kingdom of God and Japanese troops. Many others had escaped into the woods, disappearing entirely.
Having defeated both armies, Yue Zhong continued his assault towards the city built by the Yaro Gang.
By now, there were many places burning within the city. Mobs and riots had broken out, and it was chaos everywhere. A large portion of the Yaro Gang's forces had been wiped out by the Kingdom of God. However, a small faction still held out in the inner parts of the city.
Within a villa, numerous soldiers of the Yaro Gang were currently fortifying their defences. If any power without enough firearms or heavy power, they would have to pay a steep price to attack this final stand.
Yue Zhong gazed at the villa and gave an order: "Fukui Honten, go now and advise the Yaro Gang to surrender to me. If you succeed, I will bestow rewards upon you."
Fukui Honten's face fell and he immediately got on his knees to beg: "Sir! Please, spare my life! Spare my life! The Yaro Gang kill without batting eyelids, they will definitely take my life!"
Yue Zhong eyed him with a strong killing intent: "Do you think only the Yaro Gang know how to kill? Am I so merciful? This is an order, and orders are absolute! Those who disobey will be executed!"
Fukui Honten helplessly mustered his courage: "Yes! I understand. What are your conditions, Sir?"
"Tell them to surrender unconditionally, I will guarantee that their daily lives would not be affected."
With the Thunder Fighters, he could easily destroy the villa. Having such a trump card, Yue Zhong was obviously confident of his chances.
"Yes! I understand!"
Fukui Honten then gritted his teeth and raised a white flag as he walked towards the territory of the Yaro Gang.
2 soldiers quickly walked out and escorted him in front of a high-ranking officer, Kazuki Nobuhiko.
The Yaro Gang member wielded a sharp knife and emitted a strong killing intent as he spat out: "Who the fuck are you?"
Fukui Honten felt the killing intent and his face turned pale as he stammered: "I'm Fukui Honten, I was sent here as an envoy by the leader of the army outside, Yue Zhong."
Although Fukui Honten was huge and burly, able to kill zombies easily, he was actually a timid coward. He was currently intimidated by Kazuki Nobuhiko's aura, and felt that he might be killed if he wasn't careful.
Kazuki Nobuhiko frowned: "Yue Zhong? He's Chinese?"
Under the threat of death, Fukui Honten immediately bragged about Yue Zhong's power: "Yes! He's Chinese, however, he has over 3,000 elites under him, and 20 assault helicopters. The Kingdom of God and Takama-ga-hara were defeated by him earlier. He even killed 2 out of the 6 Demons of the Takama-ga-hara and captured one. The Shinobi Demon Tenpyo Saka is currently his captive."
"You see the helicopters in the skies? Those are his. They're called Thunder Fighters, and they're the more advanced aircraft weapons you will find. Each of them possess the power to raze a city to the ground. There're countless bombs, incendiary bombs, and even cluster bombs. Should you guys resist, then he would order the decimation of the entire region. By that time, you guys will only die without even knowing what hit you. On account that we're all Japanese, I tried to advise Yue Zhong-sama to spare you guys. I even volunteered myself as envoy to come and contact you guys." On one hand, Fukui Honten continued to brag about Yue Zhong's power, while earning some face for himself. He hoped that he could get out of Kazuki Nobuhiko's hands with this.
The stronger they understood Yue Zhong to be, the safer Fukui Honten would be. He knew this, that was why he spared no effort in blowing Yue Zhong's trumpet.
Hearing those words, Kazuki Nobuhiko's expression did not change, but his heart was shocked beyond belief: "So the Takama-ga-hara was really defeated by them! Even the Shinobi Demon was captured!"
Kazuki Nobuhiko wasn't some ordinary riff raff of the Yaro Gang. He was the second-in-command, and wielded great authority. He knew plenty of information that ordinary members wouldn't know. He knew the plan of the Takama-ga-hara to ambush the Kingdom of God. Since Yue Zhong's army could crash so easily, he knew that Yue Zhong must be more powerful than he could imagine.
The 4 Thunder Fighters were manufactured by the Kingdom of God as the latest in line for weapons, under their might, even a town as established as the Yaro Gang's would be turned into tofu.
Kazuki Nobuhiko grabbed onto Fukui Honten's clothes and asked softly: "What did Yue Zhong offer?"
Fukui Honten knew that this Yaro Gang member was already faltering on surrendering. He quickly advised softly: "Yue Zhong wants you guys to surrender unconditionally, he would personally guarantee the safety of all of you."
"Just that? No other sweeteners?" Kazuki Nobuhiko frowned slightly as he asked. Although he knew Yue Zhong truly meant for them to surrender with such terms, he had hoped that he could get something out of it.
Fukui Honten quickly advised: "Nobuhiko-sir, Yue Zhong is a man that dishes out his rewards and punishments accordingly. As long as you truly submit and work hard for him, he would reward you."

Chapter 565: Jasper Green Lotus!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Fukui Honten did not know the background of Kazuki Nobuhiko, and could only used such words to try and coax him into surrendering.
Kazuki Nobuhiko hesitated a while, before suddenly asking: "That's true! Once I contribute to his cause, I will naturally receive some rewards. Oh yes, does Yue Zhong-sama like beautiful girls?"
Fukui Honten pondered as he thought back to Ida Kyoko and the little loli Yao Yao beside Yue Zhong, before nodding and replying: "Yea, Yue Zhong-sama only likes top beauties."
Most men like beauties, and Fukui Honten was just using a common stereotype to support his conjecture.
Kazuki Nobuhiko heaved a long sigh of relief, and relaxed his frown: "Alright!"
Fukui Honten brazenly continued: "Kazuki-sama, the most important thing now is to complete what Yue Zhong-sama has ordered me to do. He's not a patient man, and I fear if we delay too long, he might rush in with his troops."
Kazuki Nobuhiko immediately wore a warm expression and said: "Sure! Come with me!"
On the way, many of the guards from the Yaro Gang looked towards Fukui Honten beside Kazuki Nobuhiko and sighed in their hearts. After all, no one wanted to rush to their deaths blindly. In fact, many were in favour of surrendering.
As led by Kazuki Nobuhiko, Fukui Honten came to a lavish place within the city.
"Who the hell are you?" A 1.6m middle-aged man in kimono with a ferocious aura stared at Fukui Honten and barked coldly.
This man was the leader of the Yaro Gang, Hajime Moto. He was a Level 15 Enhancer. As the leader of a faction, he could order his subordinates to capture all sorts of zombies, and he will kill them easily. This allowed him to raise his level to 15, although his fighting strength was really negligible.
Even in the apocalypse, many leaders weren't actually strong experts, instead, they held power over a large number of ordinary survivors.
Fukui Honten was intimidated by the aura of Hajime Moto that he trembled slightly, before gritting his teeth to say: "I'm Fukui Honten. Leader Hajime, I'm the envoy sent by Yue Zhong-sama. He wants me to advise you guys to surrender unconditionally. He can promise that the lives of you and your subordinates will be intact. Otherwise, he will immediately charge in with his army, and level the entire place, not leaving even a single chicken or dog alive."
Hajime Moto frowned and asked coldly: "Yue Zhong, he's a Chinese?"
Fukui Honten had a bad feeling as he replied: "Yes!"
A savage look flashed in Hajime Moto's eyes as he bellowed out: "You want me to submit to a damn Chinese pig? Is your brain damaged? Are you still part of our mighty race? You're actually willing to lower yourself to work for a pig?! You're a disgrace! Our Yaro Gang would definitely not submit to a Chinese! Our Yaro Gang is above the rest, and we will fight till the end with that Chinese dog!! Kazuki, go take this traitor out and chop off his head, hang it outside!"
The right-wing movement had gained explosive traction in recent years, and they had managed to prevail even in the modernizing world. This Hajime Moto was an extreme nationalist, and even he would rather die in battle than submit.
Fukui Honten fell to the floor in fright, his entire 2m frame trembling as he pleaded: "Sir, spare me!! Hajime-sama, spare me!! I'm just an envoy!! Don't kill me, don't kill me!!"
Kazuki Nobuhiko was stunned as he stayed where he was. He thought of having to face the forces of Yue Zhong if he killed Fukui Honten, and his hands became cold.
The Yaro Gang had no aerial defences, and the strongest weapon they had were just a few rifles. There was no way they stood a chance against those Thunder Fighters.
Hajime Moto's eyes flashed fiercely and he barked: "Kazuki, you're still not acting? You want to surrender to that Chinese dog?!"
Kazuki Nobuhiko felt his heart turn cold, as a look of resolution gleamed in his eyes and he replied: "Hai! I understand!"
After that, he pulled out the kodachi at his waist and swung it high, before swinging it down, slashing through Hajime Moto's neck and right shoulder.
The headless corpse of the Yaro Gang's leader slumped to the floor, the decapitated head still wearing a look of disbelief.
Kazuki Nobuhiko eyed the corpse and a complicated gaze appeared in his eyes: "Leader! I don't want to die, I still want to live! Since you're intending to stand in my way, you'll have to die!!"
Fukui Honten glanced at Kazuki Nobuhiko and he felt a tremor of shock: "What a ruthless man."
After Hajime Moto was disposed of by Kazuki Nobuhiko, he swiftly ordered the rest to put down their weapons with his authority as second-in-command and brought them to surrender.
A total of 400 Yaro Gang members came forward to submit to Yue Zhong, many of which were Level 30 or 40 Enhancers.
Kazuki Nobuhiko came up to Yue Zhong and raised the head of Hajime Moto, saying: "Sir, this is the head of our ex-leader, Hajime Moto! He wanted to go against your orders, and I've decided to kill him, and offer his head as a pledge of allegiance, Sir!"
Yue Zhong eyed the head and commented mildly: "Well done!"
"Thank you for your compliments, Sir!" Kazuki Nobuhiko's heart leaped in joy, as he carefully eyed the Shinobi Demon Tenpyo Saka behind Yue Zhong, her neck wrapped in the collar bomb.
"He's truly strong, to have actually subdued a Demon from Takama-ga-hara. He's too scary." Having seen what Yue Zhong was capable of with his own eyes, his fear and respect towards Yue Zhong grew.
After all, the 6 Demons were the geniuses amongst geniuses over at Japan. Every one of them was at least a dual-attribute Evolver, their combat strength the apex of the crop, and not a single person in the Yaro Gang was their match.
Yue Zhong pointed to a small hill and asked: "I saw the Takama-ga-hara troops suddenly rushing out from there, what was going on?"
The sudden ambush by the Takama-ga-hara resulted in some severe losses by the Kingdom of God. If it weren't for their elite Adjudicators and Judges, who had all transitioned in their jobs, they would have long been defeated by the Japanese troops.
Kazuki Nobuhito replied with respect: "Sir, our Yaro Gang has built this city on top of a large underground refuge. There's a tunnel leading to that mountain. The Takama-ga-hara had made use of that tunnel to flank the Kingdom of God soldiers."
In order to deal with potential nuclear war, Japan had constructed various underground refuges. The Yaro Gang had established their base on top of one such refuge.
Yue Zhong fixed his gaze on Kazuki Nobuhiko: "Why did the Kingdom of God attack you guys?"
He explained: "We had obtained a Mutant Plant called the Jasper Green Lotus. The jasper fruits it bear can allow Enhancers above Level 50 to evolve a skill to a Second Order stage. Any Enhancer whose level was below 50, swallowing a jasper fruit would cause the 6 attributes to gain a 4 point boost. However, it is only effective once, consuming more than one would have no effect. The Kingdom of God had come specially for this Jasper Green Lotus."
When Yue Zhong heard it, he immediately ordered: "Bring me to it."
"Yes! Sir, please come with me."
Under Kazuki Nobuhiko's lead, Yue Zhong came to an area outside of the lodgings.
Within a pool of not even 20cm deep, there was a 4-petal jade green plant, with a green flower blooming right in the middle. Within the flowers, there were a few jade-like fruits. It really looked like a mysterious lotus.
Kazuki Nobuhiko pointed to the plant and said: "That's the Jasper Green Lotus!"
There were 8 Enhancers of above level 30 guarding the place, obviously viewing the plant with great importance as well.
Yue Zhong patted Kazuki Nobuhiko in satisfaction and praised: "Well done! You did well. As long as those Yaro Gang members whose hands have not been dyed with Chinese blood, I will return them to you, and you will be reinstated as the vice-commander of the Yaro Gang. Your direct superior is Fukui Honten. However, since the Yaro Gang sounds so vulgar, let's rename it to be the Wild Wolf Company. You're currently the Vice-commander and your rank is Major."
If it wasn't for Kazuki Nobuhiko's decisive and swift handling of the situation, the Jasper Green Lotus might have been destroyed in the chaos. Gaining such a treasure, Yue Zhong's view of Kazuki Nobuhiko also rose.
Having been approved of Yue Zhong, Kazuki Nobuhiko felt extremely pleased and he voiced his allegiance once more: "Thank you Yue Zhong-sama! Kazuki will definitely serve you with my life!!"
Yue ZHong walked into the pool and took 3 of the fruits, before arranging for 8 Evolvers to protect the pool.
By now, Yue Zhong had given a number of the Evolving Liquid to those elite soldiers that had followed Yao Yao to Japan, causing them to evolve. He had immediately gained over a 100 Level 40 Evolvers. Because of this troop, he could easily vanquish the 2 armies from the Kingdom of God and Takama-ga-hara.
Yue Zhong then eyed Kazuki Nobuhiko before giving him a task: "Kazuki, I need people of talents in the following fields: Optoelectronic engineering, mechanical engineering, electronic engineering and biological sciences. Find these people and bring them to me."
Being adjacent to Tokyo, the Shizuoka Prefecture was also a developed county, there should be a number of researchers, scientists and talents in those areas. Yue Zhong needed them to work for him.
When America and the Soviet Union had teamed up to defeat Berlin, while the Soviet Union was snatching up resources, America snatched up talents. After World War II, America's technology had surpassed the Soviet Union. Yue Zhong was severely lacking in talents in the science field right now. Before gaining the capitals back in China, he could only rely on the geniuses of Japan to help him.

Chapter 566: Concentration Camp!

Kazuki Nobuhiko understood Yue Zhong's intentions, but he still replied with respect: "Yes! Yue Zhong-sama!"
He then proceeded to pass the order to look for those talents as per Yue Zhong's instructions.
After he left, Yue Zhong turned to Tenpyo Saka behind him who had been following behind, with the collar bomb still on her neck. He directly offered: "Tenpyo Saka, how about working for me?"
As one of the 6 Demons, her combat strength was truly astonishing. If Yue Zhong could successfully win her over, he would gain another peak expert amongst his ranks.
Tenpyo Saka looked at Yue Zhong with a clear gaze, without any expression yet her tone was cold: "I'm Japanese, my strength is only for Japan."
Yue Zhong's pupils constricted and his killing intent billowed: "You're not afraid that I'll kill you?"
Tenpyo Saka continued eyeing Yue Zhong without a shred of fear: "That's your freedom."
He gazed at her, his killing intent becoming thicker. With such a high level expert as an Assassin, not many could defend against her. If he couldn't subdue her, then he would rather see her dead.
She could feel the murderous aura radiating from Yue Zhong and knew he was for real, and a chill passed her heart: "Yue Zhong. You can't dominate Japan. If you allow the Takama-ga-hara to ransom for my release, I'm willing to convince Tetsuo Nendori-sama to enter an alliance with you. Both sides can exist together in Japan. Our current enemies are not each other, but the zombies. We're already outnumbered, if we continued to slaughter amongst ourselves, we would fall prey to the zombies."
Yue Zhong was reminded of the big picture, and he nodded slowly: "Alright, I'm willing to negotiate with Takama-ga-hara."
Yue Zhong wasn't Japanese, if he insisted on establishing a Japan force, it would be incredibly difficult. Furthermore, he didn't even intend to in the first place. He had just wanted to obtain some of the benefits before heading back to consolidating his strength in China.
Bai Xiao Sheng came up to Yue Zhong at this point, his expression steely: "Sir. We've discovered a Chinese concentration camp. Do you want to come take a look?"
"Concentration camp?" Yue Zhong hissed and his expression turned extremely ugly the moment he heard those words. This was a notorious institution used during the World War II, and countless people have suffered and died in them.
During the second World War, all the countries involved had some form of such a place. Who knew that it would resurface during these apocalyptic times.
In an area where dirty waters flowed, and there were steel fences and wooden stakes embedded all around, there were dozens of tents and simple wooden cartons. This was the concentration camp set up by the Yaro Gang.
Within this camp, gender didn't matter, everyone was naked and gathered together for warmth. Around the camp, corpses could be seen strewn around. There were many female corpses, each of them bearing the evidence of countless abuse and torture.
Near the entrance of the camp, there were rows and rows of dead Chinese people lined up neatly. There were men and women, old and young. It was practically hell.
In this post apocalypse, many Japanese were cruel to their own people, not to mention the Chinese and other nationalities.
If even ordinary Japanese became the slaves of other Japanese, then the Chinese, Americans, English and Africans were treated worse than humans.
The moment Yue Zhong neared the camp, he could smell a thick stench of excrement and rotting, causing him to feel his bile rushing up his throat. He almost wanted to turn around to walk away.
There were many Chinese like Jin Li who revered the Japanese. Over the course of years, many of these Chinese had assimilated entirely into the Japanese culture. Yue Zhong loathed to see such people.
A person whose frame had been reduced to skin and bones ran out of the camp, pleading: "Help me!! Help me!! Please save me!! Please, I'm begging you!!"
The rest of the people in the camp ignored him, instead, just staring at him coldly.
Behind the person, a number of blond Caucasians were rushing towards him.
The moment Yue Zhong heard the words of the fleeing man, his brows arched and he ordered: "Chinese? Go save him!"
One of the personal guards by Yue Zhong's side immediately shot forward and used a Tang Replica Sword to point at the man: "Kneel!"
The moment those 3 Caucasians saw the Tang Replica Sword, their eyes flashed with fear and they turned tail and ran.
The bag of bones immediately smiled at Yue Zhong: "Thank you! I'm Miao Xi Gui. Thank you for saving my life."
Yue Zhong asked: "Why were they chasing you?"
Miao Xi Gui's eyes flashed with bitterness: "They want to eat my flesh."
He continued: "This is a concentration camp, those Japanese didn't provide us with food. They only watched and laughed as we killed amongst ourselves. We were then forced to cannibalism to live on. I had been captured here, and had gone 7 days and 7 nights without food."
Standing beside Yue Zhong, Tenpyo Saka's face fell: "Impossible! Our Japanese people would never be so cruel!"
Although Tenpyo Saka wasn't some nationalistic person, she was still proud of her country and people. In her mind, most Japanese were decent people, and would not do such deranged things.
Yue Zhong ordered coldly: "Convey my orders! Go round up the warden and all the prison guards of this camp, and bring them out of the city to behead them! Their family members will all become slaves, and await to be given to those who perform well!"
One of the personal guards swiftly dismissed himself: "Yes!"
Tears welled up in Miao Xi Gui's eyes, as he thought back on the all the sufferings, and he immediately knelt on the floor, kowtowing profusely: "Thank you kind sir!! Thank you for seeking redress for our people!!"
The Chinese had been humiliated by the Japanese, and most of them had lost hope for the future. Although they were all filled with hate for the Japanese, they lacked the strength to do anything. Hence, they could only live on like pigs and dogs. However, they bore the grudge, and now that they had Yue Zhong to aid them, Miao Xi Gui could not help but sob emotionally.
Yue Zhong then turned to Bai Xiao Sheng;" Go get some men to sweep them all. Those who had participated in the killing of any Chinese, execute them. If any Chinese inside are willing to join us, absorb them into our ranks. I only want Chinese who can speak our language, not those Chinese Japanese that had already forgotten their mother tongue."
In order to integrate into the local community, there were many Chinese whose later generations had developed and assimilated into the Japanese culture. Many of them forgot their Chinese language, and had totally become Japanese. Yue Zhong did not want these people within his ranks as well.
"Yes!" Bai Xiao Sheng then took 10 experts and entered the camp.
That single order from Yue Zhong caused a bloodbath to be shed. A 100-over Yaro Gang members were all dragged out to be executed, and their families were branded as slaves to be given as gifts to victorious people.
Within the concentration camp, Yue Zhong discovered over a 160 Chinese survivors. THey were all excited about joining Yue Zhong, and becoming part of his troops.
As for the other foreigners within the camp, Yue Zhong directly executed those who had eaten Chinese people, whereas the rest were released.
The Yaro Gang's city had a total of 50,000 Japanese survivors, and many were talents in their own fields of research and development. Many were sent back towards Sakura Town in preparation to be brought back to China.
There were also various top-of-the-line machinery and manufacturing equipment, which were commissioned to be brought back to Sakura Town as well.
Being in the Shizuoka Prefecture, the Yaro Gang's city was like a bucket in a body of water. The moment the 3 million zombies launched an assault over here, the city was absolutely incapable of withstanding the onslaught.
In Yue Zhong's hands, there were over 2,000 Kingdom of God and Takama-ga-hara captives. The ordinary Kingdom of God soldiers numbered about 700 Japanese. They were just normal people who fought to survive, and didn't particularly swore by any allegiance. Yue Zhong thus incorporated them into the troops belong to Ida Kyoko, Muto Shin and Yuan Tian Gang, bolstering their strength.
As for the 1,400 Japanese soldiers of the Takama-ga-hara, over 200 of them had weak wills and decided to switch loyalties, and were immediately sent to his 3 subordinates. The remaining 1,200 of the soldiers were unwilling.
Working together with Kazuki Nobuhiko, Yue Zhong soon gained control over the Yaro Gang's city, and it regained its peace.
Inside a particular master bedroom within a mansion, Yue Zhong pulled out one of the Jasper Green Fruits and swallowed it. He only had the time now to consume this treasure.
The moment it was absorbed into his abdomen, it transformed into a warm energy flow that spread throughout his limbs, and nourished his body,
The energy continued to travel along Yue Zhong's meridians, before finally settling in his mind, and landed on the bronze rune representing the Stealth ability, carving out additional engravings.
"Second Order Stealth: Greatly enhances Stealth ability, distorting and confusing enemies' senses even when moving slowly."
Yue Zhong opened his eyes as he savoured the enhancing effect: "Second Order Stealth! Why was it this skill?! Ugh, if only it had been the Steel Body skill…"
The Steel Body skill directly impacted Yue Zhong's survivability in combat, whereas the Stealth ability was related to his assassination skills.

Chapter 567: Envoy from Takama-ga-hara!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Inside a meeting room, a fierce light flashed past Bai Xiao Sheng's eyes. He spoke: "Leader! Since those 1,200 Takama-ga-hara soldiers aren't willing to work for us, let's just kill them and be done with it!"
"En!" Yue Zhong frowned slightly as he lowered his head in thoughts. He was also of a mind to do away with those soldiers that weren't willing to submit. They were all elites, if they were released to the Takama-ga-hara, they would add to the numbers.
The stoic expression of Tenpyo Saka finally had a change, as she could not help but exclaim: "No! Yue Zhong, you can't do that! They're all humans, not some dog or chicken! Please Yue Zhong, don't kill them! They've already surrendered, you shouldn't kill them."
Muto Shin had a fierce glint in his eyes as well: "I, too, am for killing them! They're the elites of the Takama-ga-hara, the moment they're killed, Takama-ga-hara would suffer a huge loss!"
Since the past, traitors had always been harshest to their own people. Muto Shin was already a traitor of the Takama-ga-hara, and he was exceptionally ruthless to his ex-comrades. Only then would he be able to prove his loyalty to Yue Zhong.
An elite team was after all the core strength of any power. If too many were wiped out, it would be tough for the faction to regain its strength. Yue Zhong had over a million survivors in China right now, but his true elite troops only numbered about 20,000. If they were somehow annihilated, his military might would plunge for a period of time.
Killing these 1,200 soldiers would mean dealing a huge blow to the Takama-ga-hara.
A intelligence officer came up to Yue Zhong and reported: "Leader! The Takama-ga-hara had sent an envoy requesting your audience!"
"Let him in!" Yue Zhong's brows arched, "He has truly come!"
A handsome man of about 35 or 36 wearing a suit came walking into the hall, before bowing to Yue Zhong: "Yue Zhong-sama, I'm Fuji Saburo, an envoy from Takama-ga-hara. I'm pleased to make your acquaintance."
Yue Zhong eyed him and spoke coldly: "Fuji Saburo, speak your mind."
Fuji Saburo immediately tried to come from the moral angle: "Yue Zhong-sama, why would you attack our Takama-ga-hara? We have no grudge with you…"
Yue Zhong's brows furrowed as he cut him off loudly: "Cut the crap! If you're here to spew nonsense, then just make yourself scarce. I don't have the time to waste on your bullshit. Say something worthwhile."
Fuji Saburo was obviously eloquent, if he continued to speak, he would definitely argue from the moral angle for a few hours. Yue Zhong could not be bothered to deal with it.
He decided to get to the crux of the matter: "Yue Zhong-sama, our Takama-ga-hara hopes that you can return Tenpyo Saka-sama as well as the soldiers to us."
Yue Zhong's gaze was still chilly, as he spoke slowly: "If you want to get them back, what are you prepared to pay for them?"
Fuji Saburo immediately offered a high price: "10,000 tons of rations, 500 tons fuel, a 1,000 rifles, 20,000 rounds of ammunition, 200 beautiful virgins. What do you think of the price?"
"10,000 tons of rations, 500 tons fuel. They're freaking rich. This Takama-ga-hara must have obtained help from the Japanese government?" When Yue Zhong heard those numbers, he felt a chill. He roughly guess how they must have such a backing.
Although a faction could recruit survivors as troops with enough resources, 1,200 elite soldiers and a powerful Evolver was far more valuable than those amounts.
Yue Zhong shook his head and counter-offered: "I want experts from the following fields: Optoelectronics, 20. Engineering, 30. Electronic engineering, 40. Medical, 20…. On top of that, I want 20 aerial transport vehicles, 24 assault helicopters. The moment these are delivered to my doorstep, I will immediately release the elites of the Takama-ga-hara."
When Fuji Saburo heard Yue Zhong's counter offer, his back broke out in cold sweat. Those people were all highly sought-after experts in Japan, and if it were just one or two, they would close one eyes. However, Yue Zhong had actually asked for over a thousand people from different fields. The moment Takama-ga-hara handed them over, their development would slow down by a lot.
At the start of the apocalypse, those experts in those fields could not even compare to an ordinary farmer. However, now that the situation was stabilizing in many regions, factions were seeking these experts to aid their development.
The Kingdom of God had been able to advance so quickly because they had managed to secure a large number of talents right from the get go, and obtained a number of blueprints. Thus, their rapid development.
Other than the issue of talents, aerial transport vehicles and assault helicopters were all precious equipment, no one would give them up willing.
Fuji Saburo stared at Yue Zhong and directly rejected him: "Yue Zhong-sama, your appetite is too big. We can't bring out so many people nor that number of equipment."
Yue Zhong stared back, as a huge pressure emitted from him, causing Fuji Saburo to feel suffocated.
He then pointed to Tenpyo Saka and coldly replied: "Fine. We can slowly exchange. As for Tenpyo Saka, she is your Shinobi Demon, I know that you have about 15 assault helicopters and 30 aerial transport vehicles. I want 12 assault helicopters and 15 aerial carriers in exchange for her! You guys won't say no to this right? I don't have the time to bargain with you, there's only yes or no."
Tenpyo Saka was a powerful Evolver, and her combat ability was high. However, in terms of the battlefield, the destructive might of 12 assault helicopters was more potent than her. Yue Zhong had no plans to stay long in Japan, and exchanging her for some practical weaponry was much more beneficial. After all, she wasn't willing to work for him.
Tenpyo Saka's gaze also fell on Fuji Saburo silently, her eyes flashing with anticipation. She wasn't willing to stay by Yue Zhong's side as his captive. She wanted to leave, and return to Takama-ga-hara.
Fuji Saburo began to perspire profusely, as he finally bowed to Tenpyo Saka: "My apologies, Shinobi Demon-sama."
He then turned to Yue Zhong: "Yue Zhong-sama, your terms are too harsh, I can't promise those."
Those assault helicopters and transport vehicles were the treasures of the Takama-ga-hara, and although Tenpyo Saka was important to Tetsuo Nendori, her worth could not be compared to those advanced weaponry.
Without those armored machines, the development of Takama-ga-hara would be adversely affected.
"So it seems that I'm not as important as a bunch of machines." Tenpyo Saka's eyes flashed with disappointment and lowered her head silently, full of bitterness.
Tenpyo Saka had helped contribute so much to the cause of Takama-ga-hara, and had assassinated countless experts. However, in the end, Tetsuo Nendori was not willing to exchange any machines for her, and she was filled with disappointment and bitterness.
Yue Zhong took a final look and ordered coolly: "The rest of the soldiers can be exchanged with those talents that i need, every person in exchange for a soldier. Get the hell out!"
"Yue Zhong-sama, we can still discuss this!! Yue Zhong-sama…." Fuji Saburo called out as he was dragged by men under Yue Zhong's orders.
"Seems like you're not as important as those machines!" Yue Zhong eyed Tenpyo Saka and mocked.
Tenpyo Saka looked at him, and lowered her head without any comeback.
Bai Xiao Sheng asked: "Boss, what do we do with those soldiers then?"
Yue Zhong replied: "Arrange for them to work on those fortifications at Sakura Town, their wages will be issued as per the lowest."
Those soldiers were all fit men, and were perfect for fortification works. In this apocalypse, manpower was never enough.
As the meeting ended, Yue Zhong brought Tenpyo Saka and Bai Xiao Sheng, as well as 16 other Evolvers and sat in a Hummer as they made their way towards the sea side, leaving the Yaro Gang's city.
Tenpyo Saka's strength was truly fearsome, if it wasn't for Yue Zhong's control, she could easily assassinate many important people. He had to bring her along.
About 10km away from the Yaro Gang's city, there was a seaside town, where the residential population was about a few thousand prior to the apocalypse. The Yaro Gang had cleared the entire place out after the apocalypse had set in.
The entire place was desolate, every room and building empty. Any item that could be used had already been transported away, and the entire place looked like a dead town.
At the coast, there were 2 luxury boats docked, as well as 12 other small fishing boats. About 20 men stood near the coast, they used to be fishing folk before the apocalypse, and knew how to navigate the boats. They were found by Fukui Honten.
He fawned over Yue Zhong and said: "Yue Zhong-sama, these are the boats that we have."
Kazuki Nobuhiko had also brought along 2 beautiful and sexy Japanese girls in bikinis, as he came up to Yue Zhong, with a fawning smile: "Yue Zhong-sama, these sisters are Miya Aiko and Miya Yuka. They have long admired your skills and strength, and have offered to become your maidservants."
Both of them walked up to Yue Zhong and bowed, before speaking in unison: "Aiko (Yuka) greets Master!"
Fukui Honten and Kazuki Nobuhiko had just recently joined Yue Zhong, and knew that their future was still not yet cemented. They could only rely on such measures to slowly gain his favour. After all, the fate of those hundreds of Yaro Gang members outside the gate had shocked everyone to the core.
"En!" Yue Zhong swept them a look, before asking Kazuki Nobuhiko: "What's the rank and level of the strongest Mutant Beast in the seas around here?"

Chapter 568: Attack of the Sea Mutant Beasts!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
The seas had become even more terrifying after the apocalypse, after all, all sorts of marine creatures resided within more than 70% of what constituted earth. Even a Type 2 Mutant Beast would be humongous, but compared to the rest of the creatures, it might just be some measly prawn. The real terror were those Type 5 and higher Overlords.
Even if Yue Zhong mustered all his strength, it was impossible for him to kill a Type 5 Mutant Beast at this juncture. That sort of creature was simply too terrifying, even deploying an entire battalion might not work.
If such a Type 5 Mutant Beast were active in the seas, Yue Zhong dared not move out into the Yokosuka Base.
Kazuki Nobuhiko spoke up: "Sir, there are usually a lot of Type 2 Mutant Beasts in the seas, and they're ferocious, sometimes even coming up to shore to attack people. We had tried establishing a base here once, but due to losing many men to those Type 2 Mutant Beasts, we gave up on the town. The main active forces around here are those Type 2 Mutant Beasts, but we did catch sight of a Type 3 before."
When Yue Zhong heard it, he went to the shore silently and summoned the Type 2 Sharkie. After taming a beast, as long as he was within a certain radius of the beast, he could establish a mental link with his tamed beasts. The higher the skill level, the larger the radius.
Right now, Yue Zhong's Tamer Technique had already reached Level 4, within a distance of 200km, all the beasts that had been tamed could be connected with his mind, and rush to him the moment he called for them.
A Type 2 Mutant Shark the length of 40m was tearing into the flesh of a Mutant Swordfish out in the sea. Suddenly, it twisted its head and emitted a sound of delight as it rushed towards the source of the call.
The moment the Type 2 Mutant Shark left, countless smaller sea beasts swam over and began to tear into the Mutant Swordfish.
After the apocalypse, the sea had truly become a hundred times more dangerous. If a normal person was to enter the waters, regardless of how good he is with swimming, within 10 minutes, he would be torn to pieces. Unless he was a powerful Evolver.
Kazuki Nobuhiko continued carefully: "Sir, please pardon my words. With these boats, if they were to go out to sea, they will definitely be destroyed by the Mutant Beasts. It's too dangerous."
By this time, Yue Zhong was like Kazuki Nobuhiko's boss, if he were to die, then Kazuki Nobuhiko's group would be swallowed by other people. He didn't want to become a trophy to be collected time after time, hence he wasn't willing to see Yue Zhong die. It had nothing to do with loyalty, just self-interest.
Yue Zhong replied mildly: "I know. I have my ways to go out to sea safely."
Kazuki Nobuhiko glance at the straight back of Yue Zhong and kept silent.
All of a sudden, the calm sea began to churn, and the sand on the beach began to stir. Numerous Mutant Sandworms of about 3 to 4 meters burrowed out with sharp teeth, their bodies encased in a white color scale-like covering, and made towards Yue Zhong's group in a frenzy.
"Level 17 Strange Beast: Mutant Sandworms. They like to swallow flesh and blood."
The scary thing about them was their numbers, and as they made their way towards Yue Zhong and his group, it looked like a sea of white.
"Disperse into town!" Yue Zhong looked at the numbers and also felt his scalp tingle. He could easily slaughter a few with a single swing, but there seemed to be over tens of thousands of them. Even someone as powerful as he would be helpless against numbers.
Hearing Yue Zhong's orders, everyone fought to escape into town.
There were countless buildings still standing in the town, and by making use of those buildings, they could establish a defence.
The Mutant Sandworms had speed twice of normal humans, although they couldn't chase up to the Evolvers under Yue Zhong, it was more than enough to catch up to the Japanese people under Fukui Honten.
An unfortunate Japanese survivor was slightly slow and he was instantly surrounded by those worms. They opened their jaws and chomped down on his body, drawing fresh blood and meat. In mere seconds, the Japanese survivor were torn to shreds amidst his pitiful screams.
"Save me!! Save me!! Master!!" Miya Yuka was running when she suddenly tripped on a stone and tumbled to the ground. She was so frightened that her tears and snot were streaming down her face, as she cried out miserably.
As she was crying, a number of the Mutant Sandworms had jumped onto her body, and was preparing to take a huge bite out of her.
As she was about to die, a flash of light shot past her, and those Mutant Sandworms were immediately sliced into pieces. Their juices splattered all over her, and if it weren't for the peril that everyone was in, the posture and circumstance that she was in would be incredibly sexual.
Yue Zhong grabbed her and threw her to Tenpyo Saka: "Protect them properly!"
Tenpyo Saka shook slightly, and received Yuka silently, before rushing towards Aiko's side. She wasn't a Strength-based Evolver, but with her equipment, she had 4 times the strength of a normal person. It was barely any effort to carry Yuka.
"Block them!" Yue Zhong waved his hands and activated his Devil Flame, as the terrifying might of fire condensed in his hands. He swept outwards and caused a huge fiery tornado to blow towards those sandworms, enveloping them.
When the flames went out, over hundreds of those Mutant Beasts had been incinerated. The rest stopped slightly, evidently afraid of fire.
Tenpyo Saka and the rest made use of the chance to hurry further into town.
The waves of the sea were churning, and not long after, a huge beast of about 36m and a height of 4m appeared. Its shell broke out of the water first, and soon the entire frame of a Type 2 Mutant Lobster appeared. There were over ten thousand of its little brothers of varying levels that were beside it.
A Type 2 Mutant Beast might not count for much out deep in the ocean, but near the shores, it was still a little Overlord. Other than the Type 2 Mutant Lobster, there was also a huge Mutant Sandworm King beside it, its body over 15m long and 1m tall. This Mutant Sandworm King was the commander of those little sandworms.
Not all leader-type creatures were Type 2 Mutant Beasts, some might be weak but were naturally of a higher-level variant to command their fellow creatures.
"Level 65 Strange Beast: "Type 2 Mutant Lobster. Possess an incredibly tough carapace, and immense strength."
"Whew, it's just a Type 2 Mutant Beast!" After seeing the notification that popped out in his mind when his gaze fell on the beasts, Yue Zhong heaved a sigh of relief.
For Type 2 Mutant Beasts, as long as Yue Zhong was careful, he could deal with them on a one-to-one basis. As for Type 3 Mutant Beasts or even Type 4 ones, they could cause him serious damage, even to a life-threatening extent.
Yue Zhong twisted around, and activated his Shadow Steps as he charged towards the Type 2 Mutant Lobster like a tank.
A number of Mutant Sandworms immediately charged towards Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong then activated his Devil Flame, causing a covering of the powerful flame to encase his body. All around him, the moment those Mutant Sandworms got into contact with the Devil Flame, they were instantly incinerated.
Yue Zhong continued towards the Mutant Sandworm King in a straight line, in that short span of time, his Devil Flame had burned over hundred Mutant Sandworms. He had reached the Mutant Sandworm King and immediately slashed out, causing it to be sliced in two, its juices splattering everywhere.
The moment it died, all the sandworms quickly burrowed away.
The Type 2 Lobster stared at Yue Zhong, emitting a shrill screech.
Under that scream, a huge number of Mutant Lobsters immediately lunged towards Yue Zhong. They had speed that were about 3 or 4 times of a normal person, and they were all large in size. It was like multiple cars charging straight for Yue Zhong.
As Yue Zhong's blade lashed out, it hit the carapace of one Mutant Lobster and the sound of metal hitting metal resounded. He then applied his Strength of 10 times a normal person, and with difficulty, he sliced apart the Mutant Lobster.
"So hard! These Mutant Lobsters' carapaces are already comparable to steel." Yue Zhong frowned after he disposed of one, before retreating backwards explosively.
The Mutant Lobsters were like vehicles and blocked the entire path to the Type 2 Mutant Lobster. If Yue Zhong wanted to make his way towards the Type 2 Mutant Lobster, he would have to clear a path through them.
The claws of the countless Mutant Lobsters waved and slammed towards Yue Zhong. If he was caught in between those metal-like pincers, he was bound to get hurt.
Yue Zhong was like a gust of wind, quickly pulling apart the distance between himself and the mutant beasts. He then waved his hands, and a terrifying bout of Devil Flame shot towards the Type 2 Mutant Lobster, and started to burn profusely.
The Type 2 Mutant Lobster began to struggle when it came in contact with the Devil Flame. However, after merely thrashing about for a few seconds, it crumpled to the floor, evidently, its brain had been roasted.
Yue Zhong's Second Order Devil Flame had increased in might and destructive potential. The moment an enemy was hit, even if it was a Type 2 Mutant Beast, it would definitely burn to death.
With the death of their commander, the tens of thousands of Mutant Lobsters began to swarm back into the sea, although a few were stubborn enough to chase Yue Zhong.
The flesh and meat of high-level Mutant Beasts were nourishing to humans, just like high level Evolvers or Enhancers were nourishment to the Mutant Beasts.
"Kill them!" Yue Zhong eyed those incoming beasts, and with a thought, a nether hole appeared in the sky, as White Bones stepped out menacingly, immediately pouncing onto the nearest Mutant Lobster, and pierced its hard carapace and brain with a single bone spike, before grinding the contents to mash.

Chapter 569: Aircraft Mothership!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
White Bones could freely manipulate its bones, and even in the midst of those Mutant Lobsters, its sharp bone spikes could reach up to insane lengths, piercing the shells and brains of those monsters.
Yue Zhong leaped back from the swarm, and a number of Devil Flame fireballs rained down on the Mutant Lobsters, frying their brains.
Very quickly, the swarm of elite Mutant Lobsters were slaughtered cleanly, and the remaining ones decided to retreat and turned towards the sea.
At this time, the waves churned, and a huge Type 2 Mutant Shark appeared. It opened its jaws to suck in deeply, and a number of the escaping Mutant Lobsters were sucked into its mouth, before being crushed into pieces.
The hard carapaces of those Mutant Lobsters could not even compare to this Type 2 Mutant Shark's teeth.
All the Mutant Lobsters were immediately frightened of the presence and aura of Sharkie, and quickly escaped.
Little Sharkie got on shore and using its flippers like a human's feet, it waddled over towards Yue Zhong in joy. Although it was a Type 2 Beast, it was still a sea-based creature, and its speed could only reach 3 times that of a person on shore. As for its size, that speed was already considered slowly.
Yue Zhong looked at Sharkie and his face revealed a rare smile, as he quickly reach into his ring and pulled out the bag full of Type 2 and Type 3 Nuclei. He threw it to Sharkie: "Haha! Sharkie, this is yours!"
Sharkie could tell the bag was filled with high level Nuclei and it became excited, immediately swallowing them all.
Such precious nuclei were important and vital to boosting Mutant Beasts.
Not long after it swallowed the entire bag, Sharkie curled up into a ball, and a huge amount of natural energy began to enter its body, transforming it. It was beginning its next evolution.
With the amount of nuclei Yue Zhong got from the Shimazu Clan and the Yaro Gang, it was enough to groom up a Type 3 Mutant Beast.
As to a Type 4 Mutant Beast, it was truly difficult. Yue Zhong already had the Type 3 Greenie, and Type 3 Lightning. Based on the connection he had with the 2 beasts, he already surmised that for a Type 3 Mutant Beast to evolve into a Type 4 one, it would require at least over 200 Type 3 Nuclei or 10 Type 4 Nuclei.
Regardless, it was hard to acquire either methods, and currently, Yue Zhong only had 2 Type 4 Nuclei. Of them, one was being used in the Biological Armor, the other in his arms. It was not enough to raise a Type 4 Beast.
The natural energy continued to swirl and enter Sharkie's body, constantly molding it, and with every breath it took, it seemed to grow larger.
Mutant Beasts had different paths of evolution. Some Type 3 Beasts were as small as a normal person, while some were even smaller. The sea-based Mutant Creatures on the other hand, tend to gravitate towards larger sizes, after all, there was an advantage there.
After one day, Sharkie had reached 80m in length, and 6m in height. There was a long single horn on its forehead, and there were 8 fish limbs at its side, as well as 4 long limbs with sharp claws. Its entire body was covered in green-colored scale. It was truly a peculiar sight.
"Level 80 Strange Beast: Type 3 Mutant Green-clawed Shark. Having swallowed a large number of nuclei, it is an evolved form of the Mutant Shark. Possesses the innate ability to command water."
The next day, Yue Zhong brought his party to the shore.
When Kazuki Nobuhiko and the rest saw the huge Sharkie, their faces were filled with shock: "Is this your pet?!"
Miya Yuka and the rest were also filled with shock and fear. In front of such a terrifying beast, they were practically ants.
"En!" Yue Zhong replied indifferently, before stepping into one of the luxury boats: "Let's go! We shall set off for Yokosuka Base!"
Tenpyo Saka looked at the Type 3 Mutant Green-clawed Shark and her heart was filled with shock: "Powerful! He actually could tame a Type 3 Mutant Beast as his pet!"
Even amongst the top echelon of the Takama-ga-hara, they have killed a few Type 3 Mutant Beasts. They knew how terrifying each single existence was, many Divine Deities and Servants had fallen at the claws and jaws of such beasts. She had even witness a Demon-level person having his head crushed in a single punch from a Type 3 Metal Ape. If it wasn't for her ability to fade into the background, she might have been slaughtered then as well.
If the Type 3 Mutant Beasts on earth were terrifying to deal with, the Type 3 Mutant Beasts in the seas were a whole different story. Almost no one could single-handedly deal with one yet. After all, man was land-based, no matter how strong an expert, the moment he entered the sea, their power would be decreased by at least 5%. Under such circumstances, even if it were Tetsuo Nendori, he would be torn apart by a Type 3 Mutant Beast.
The fact that Yue Zhong could command a Type 3 Mutant Beast caused Tenpyo Saka to be filled with shock. It was more than enough to be considered a Devil-level existence.
When those Japanese fishing folk were brought over, they begun to pray to the Type 3 Mutant Green-clawed Shark, after all, they were glad that it was on their side.
Under the escort of Sharkie, the boats began to set off towards the direction of Yokosuka Base.
Yue Zhong and the rest went along the coastline towards the Yokosuka base. Along the way, countless Mutant Beasts of lower levels and Types were turned away from the pressure of Sharkie.
If it were further out in the deep sea, then a Type 3 Mutant Beast wouldn't count for much. Any Type 4 Beast could simply swallow it. However, near the shores, a Type 3 Mutant Beast was definitely and infinitely more dangerous than the rest, and the pressure they emitted was enough to quell the lesser beings.
After a few hours, the majestic outline of the Yokosuka Base appeared in the eyes of Yue Zhong and his party.
"Mothership!! That's an aircraft carrier mothership!!"
As they neared the base, they caught sight of the gigantic mothership docked at the harbor, and seeing it, even Yue Zhong's eyes turned red with excitement.
A mothership!! An aircraft carrier mothership! This was the true overlord of the seas, every single one was a huge and powerful weapon in itself. Before the apocalypse, even China only had one such mothership that had just entered the waters. Right now, there was one perfect and undamaged U.S. Navy mothership in front of his eyes.
It was absolutely one of the most precious treasures left behind during the apocalypse.
Bai Xiao Sheng also exclaimed excitedly: "Mothership! This is great! If we can get that, we can obtain a huge fleet of air and navy weapons!"
If they could really obtain the mothership, then the waters of Southeast Asia will practically be Yue Zhong's backyard. With a mothership as the centre of operations for a fleet, there would be destroyers, frigates and many other ships. Such cruisers were all powerful combat weapons out in the sea.
"Mothership!! Aircraft carrier mothership!" Tenpyo Saka saw the looming view and her eyes were filled with wonder. Under the suppression of the U.S, Japan had never been allowed to possess an aircraft carrier mothership, and this was a huge source of dissatisfaction for many Japanese.
After all, without one, it meant that there was no authority of the seas. To an island like Japan, it was disadvantageous.
Yue Zhong gave an order: "Get closer to the mothership!!"
Yue Zhong had brought 8 Evolvers with the abilities to manipulate machineries. With them, they could quickly control all sorts of equipment on board, even if it was the mothership.
To fully exhibit and utilize the combat might of a mothership, they would require at least hundreds and thousands of people. However, to drive it, it didn't require that much manpower.
The boats began to get closer.
All of a sudden, a few torpedoes were fired out from the Yokosuka Base, heading straight for Yue Zhong's party.
"Not good! There are still live people in there!" Yue Zhong felt danger at the first moment, and his expression fell. He quickly activated his Shadow Steps and started flinging people overboard, after throwing 6 out, he jumped into the sea as well.
Tenpyo Saka and Bai Xiao Sheng were quick in their reactions as well, immediately grabbing a few people each as they leapt into the sea.
Following loud roar, the boats that they were on were blasted into pieces by the torpedoes.
Sharkie was swimming about, rescuing the different individuals onto its back. They were all drenched, and their appearance wretched. Even Yue Zhong was not spared.
Bai Xiao Sheng laughed savagely as he looked at the base: "Boss, seems like they're not particularly friendly."
Yue Zhong dived back into the water: "It's understandable. I'll go see how many of them are there, and I'll try to negotiate. You guys wait here."
Yue Zhong had undergone all sorts of special forces training, and swimming was one the core basics as well. With his enhancement, he could already surpass the world's fastest swimmer prior to the apocalypse.
After 20 minutes, Yue Zhong managed to climb on board the base.
He looked around, discovering that his current position was at a massive dock, and there were all sorts of cruisers and ships docked. The largest was the aircraft carrier mothership.
As he neared it, he saw that there were many zombies shambling around aimlessly at various parts of the mothership. It was obvious that most of the American troops on board had turned.

Chapter 570: Into the Yokosuka Base!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Yue Zhong's gaze swept past the deeper parts of the mothership and thought silently: "Those survivors must be inside the U.S military base… They're the largest obstacle to me right now."
Those survivors had not even said a word and had launched an attack on Yue Zhong's party. They were apparently in a fearful state. They would destroy any stranger they saw, and these kinds of people were the hardest to deal with.
This time, fortunately, Yue Zhong had just brought a small team to check out the situation. If he had been in the Sky Fortress, those survivors might have already fired some form of missile at them.
The U.S was recognized to be the strongest military in the world prior to the apocalypse. Their weapons and technology were advanced, even if an actual Sky Fortress was to be constructed, it would not be able to stand up against the U.S. anti-air missiles, not to mention an incomplete one.
Yue Zhong thought deeply for a while, before whisking out his Black Tooth Blade and walked towards the inner parts of the mothership.
Along the way, Yue Zhong didn't discover any zombies, nor any live persons.
"Ai! These are human bones!" Yue Zhong swiftly came across a clearing where he saw numerous splintered human bones.
There were huge claw marks all around, each print larger than a human, highlighting the size and might of the owner of those claws.
Yue Zhong surmised: "Mutant Beast, those sea-based creatures would usually come up to shore, no wonder there're not many zombies around. Most must have already been eaten by the sea Mutant Beasts."
Mutant Beasts had already overcome their limits through evolution, and many sea-based aquatic life already possessed the strength to come on shore. While their might is definitely lower on land, it was still not something ordinary humans or zombies could withstand.
The entire Yokosuka Base was empty and desolate, not a person to be seen. This caused Yue Zhong to feel helpless. There wasn't even a chance to engage in intel or exchange of info.
It was apparent that all the survivors in the base had already hidden themselves in some deep recess of the base, and since Yue Zhong wasn't part of the base, he naturally would not know where to go.
Yue Zhong pondered for a while, then decided to walk towards a security camera. He wrote some English on a piece of paper and held it up: "I would like to speak to your commander!!"
After waiting a while, and noting that there was no movement from the security camera, a sense of disappointment arose in his heart. Yue Zhong then sliced the camera apart, and pulled out his Swift Shadow Bike.
The moment the Swift Shadow Bike appeared, Yue Zhong rode it and charged all the way through into Yokosuka Base.
Within the entire base, there were malls, schools, post offices, theatres, gyms and all sorts of other entertainment venues. However, the current state of these buildings were dilapidated, and the numerous vehicles had been abandoned at the sides of the roads, blood stains smeared all over.
Yue Zhong rode all the way and only then, he caught sight of zombies again. However, they were at the edge and were just shambling around aimlessly.
Prior to the apocalypse, this base was a powerful center of operations with over 10,000 American soldiers. When the apocalypse set in, many had turned into zombies, and people of the Kanagawa Prefecture had escaped to this place, hoping for rescue.
Hearing the sounds of Yue Zhong's motorbike, the zombies began to swarm towards him.
Right at this time, a middle-aged Caucasian appeared at the 3rd level of the cinema and hollered: "What the fuck are you doing?! You still dare to cause such a ruckus! Throw your motorbike aside and hurry over here! Don't lure them over!!"
"Humans!" Yue Zhong saw the guy and his eyes lit up with joy. He immediately kept his Swift Shadow Bike into his storage ring, and hurried over to the theatre.
"Don't move!!" Yue Zhong had just entered the theatre when 2 handguns pointed at his back, at the same time, a cold order rang out.
"Haha!! Japanese lamb for the slaughter, seems like we'll get to enjoy some meat tonight! Haha!"
"He doesn't look dirty or smelly, what luck! The other time, that Japanese lamb was too sour, I felt like vomiting when I ate him."
Yue Zhong maintained his silence, looking at the interior of the cinema. He noticed that there were 9 burly men, each of them fierce-looking, with savage auras. There was a huge pot in the corner, and multiple human bones beside. Evidently, these 9 men had committed cannibalism.
Another Caucasian whose face was covered in brittles opened his mouth, and Yue Zhong immediately smell his bad breath. The stink-mouth laughed savagely: "Raise your hands!! Japanese pig, if you don't want your brains to be blown to pieces, you better do as we say."
One of them, whose arms were basically trunks for muscles, had a lustful look in his eyes as he licked his lips and walked over to Yue Zhong: "This little Japanese pig is not too bad-looking. Before we kill him, let me play with him! I want to split his ass so bad!! Hahaha!"
The Europeans weren't particularly judgemental towards homosexuality, in fact, there were many homosexuals in the army as well. Having been cooped up in this place, and burdened by the state of the world, they had long been driven to the point of insanity.
Another male laughed savagely: "Jet! Just don't dirty him with your semen, it's too gross to eat."
"Are you fuckers done? If you are, time to die." Yue Zhong swept them a look of disgust, and he sent a fist blasting towards the gun-wielding militant beside him with 10 times the Strength of a normal person. The man was sent flying into a wall, and died instantly.
After dealing with one, he then pulled out a dagger from another militant's waist, piercing the chest of that militant before the poor sod had the time to react.
"Oh my god, he killed Jet and Myers!!" Seeing how Yue Zhong had just killed 2 people, the expressions of the rest of the 7 survivors turned to horror. They quickly pulled out their weapons and charged at him.
"Trash! Kneel!!" Yue Zhong eyes them and barked out coldly, his Art of Fear spreading out with him as the centre. The powerful Spirit attack enveloped them.
The 7 survivors were instantly stunned silly by the Art of Fear, their faces contorted in fear and shock. They crumpled to their knees, their bodies shivering,
Yue Zhong eyed them and spoke coldly like an emperor admonishing his subjects: "Other than you, where are the rest of the survivors?"
"We know!"
With his high Spirit of 246, the survivors basically could not withstand his pressure. Under the different hallucinations, the survivors could only answer helplessly as their minds reeled.
Yue Zhong pressed on: "Where are they holed up in?"
One of the survivors responded with an expression of fear: "The military members are mainly in the 3rd and 4th shelter bunkers. They had brought a large number of Japanese citizens with them. On top of that, there are many Japanese survivors in the 5th and 7th bunkers. If you follow this path, past the group of zombies outside, you can see the 7th bunker."
"En! You guys can go to hell now." After obtaining the info he needed, Yue Zhong mercilessly slashed out, and the 7 survivors crumpled to the ground.
After all, they had crossed his threshold, and he definitely would not allow them to live on.
Yue Zhong took out a radio device: "You guys can swim over now! There isn't much danger on land at this moment."
Sharkie could possibly suffer under the torpedo attacks, hence Yue Zhong chose for Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest to swim over.
Upon receiving his orders, the rest of the team swam towards Yokosuka Base.
Near the shore, there weren't many zombies, nor any signs of Mutant Beasts. However, all the food and usable items within the various constructions had been swept clean.
Yue Zhong and his team went towards a small room and rested. After all, most of them had been out at sea for the past few hours and were feeling tired.
Bai Xiao Sheng sat at a window and played with his Dark Magic Blade: "The situation now isn't too good! The opponents are trapped in the midst of the zombies, and are hostile towards us. Boss, what do you intend to do?"
Yue Zhong replied: "I'll take a look later on."
Bai Xiao Sheng stared at Yue Zhong incredulously: "Boss, you crazy? There's at least hundreds of thousands of zombies out there, even if you're strong, you can't kill them all by yourself!"
Yue Zhong looked towards Tenpyo Saka: "I have my ways. Tenpyo Saka, you will go with me."
A look of understanding flashed past her eyes and she nodded.
With both of them possessing the Second Order Stealth skill, as long as they were careful, they would definitely be able to get past the zombies. Of course, it was a risky operation, as the moment they were detected by any high level zombies, they would be surrounded in an instant.
After Tenpyo Saka came to possess the Second Order Stealth skill, she had been able to weave in and out of hordes as well. However, it was not often that one would choose to do that. After all, she had been one of the Demons of the Takama-ga-hara, and she had all sorts of treatment and entitlements, there was no need for her to risk her life to go through zombies.
As night fell, Yue Zhong and Tenpyo Saka began to move under the cover of the night.
Yue Zhong and Tenpyo Saka soon came to the sea of zombies, and noted that they had gathered in such a bunch that they had basically blocked the entire way. Under these circumstances, they wouldn't be able to get past them even if they used their Stealth.

Chapter 571: Zombie Horde's Odd Movements!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Tenpyo Saka looked quietly at Yue Zhong, waiting to see his response. The Second Order Stealth was only good to distort the enemy's perception of the user, and it was not full invisibility. Furthermore, while the ordinary zombies used their sense of smell and sound to discover the existence of people, and would be affected by the skill, if they were touched or came into contact, they would still react. At the same time, if the user was attacked by accident while in Stealth, the distorted perception would be dispelled.
There were many zombies on the road, and they were squeezed tightly together. No one could pass this sea of zombies, and even Tenpyo Saka wouldn't dare barge in with her Second Order Stealth.
Yue Zhong pointed to a particular building and a long thing web shot out towards it. He then grabbed Tenpyo Saka by the waist, and started to pull himself towards the roof of the building.
"She smells good… and she's so soft!" Yue Zhong could detect a slight fragrance from Tenpyo Saka's body and his heart stirred slightly.
In his embrace, Tenpyo Saka's body tightened slightly, only relaxing after a while. She had always grown up in a largely females-only environment, and had not come in contact with many men. After the apocalypse, when she had evolved, her strength and her emotionless expression had caused men to steer clear. Yue Zhong's action caused her to be slightly uncomfortable.
With the spider silk, Yue Zhong got both of them up to the roof, before he pulled out a grappling hook from another box and fired a line over to another building. He then climbed the rope over to the next building.
Using these methods, Yue Zhong carefully got through the zombie horde, and from time to time, they would use their Second Order Stealth to get past some of the zombies by sticking close to the walls.
"The 7th Bunker!" Near an opening similar to a subway entrance, a huge sign hung above the building, revealing the position of the 7th Bunker in both English and Japanese.
"Ah!!"
"Help!!"
"Save me!!"
Yue Zhong and Tenpyo Saka had just gotten close to the 7th Bunker, when they discovered that the originally sealed entrance of the bunker was torn open, as a number of Devourers climbed out with live Japanese survivors in between their jaws. These Japanese survivors were struggling and crying pitifully.
There was a particular Japanese who struggled hard, and enraged the Devourer. It tore the Japanese survivor apart, as fresh blood and organs splattered all over the floor. The Devourer lowered its head and swallowed up the parts of the Japanese before climbing back into the 7th Bunker.
Soon after, another Japanese survivor was dragged out by that Devourer. After having pulled out dozens of survivors, the Devourers quickly disappeared into the night.
2 L4s then stood by the entrance and sealed up the entrance.
Numerous ordinary zombies all gathered around, and let out roars at the entrance.
When Yue Zhong saw all these, his heart turned cold: "What the fuck is going on?"
The evolution of the zombies had already gone beyond what Yue Zhong had expected. According to their past movements, as long as the zombie could breach an area, they would swarm in to devour every living thing within. The 7th Bunker was obviously broken into, but the Japanese survivors inside were not annihilated. This caused him to be taken aback.
As Yue Zhong looked at the bunker, his eyes gleamed: "There should still be many Japanese survivors within."
Tenpyo Saka came up to Yue Zhong and stared fixedly at the 7th Bunker and spoke: "There're many Japanese survivors in there. Please lend them a hand."
Yue Zhong replied coldly: "No way! I have no way of getting them through this zombie horde safely. Plus, I'm not obligated to."
With his current strength, he could kill those 2 L4s, but no matter what, he could not rescue everyone from the sea of zombies waiting outside the 7th Bunker.
Tenpyo Saka's gaze darkened when she heard it, and she bit her lower lip, not saying anything else.
Yue Zhong glanced at the 7th Bunker before he made his way towards the other bunkers.
Hong! Hong! Hong!
All of a sudden, a number of explosions occurred from the center of the zombie horde, and broke the peace of the night.
With a thought, Yue Zhong swiftly changed directions and made his way towards the source of commotion.
He came to the entrance of the 3rd Bunker, which by now had been destroyed by the tank-like L4s. In response, countless bullets and projectiles were being fired at those L4s, causing explosions to ring out one after another.
The L4s suffered numerous injuries, it was just that, at their evolution stage, their defenses were really at a sick level. Even after that bombardment, they were not dead, and their wounds quickly coagulated, forming new scales.
Under the rain of fire, the L4s managed to breach the 3rd Bunker with difficulty.
At this time, 4 Devourers appeared, firing poisonous fog into the entrance of the 3rd Bunker.
The moment that poisonous fog entered the 3rd Bunker, miserable screams and wails rang out from within, and the heavy firepower seemingly stopped, before gunshots from within rang out.
The Devourers then entered the 3rd Bunker as though having done this countless of times, and the moment they charged in, machine gun sounds rattled out.
Hong! Hong!
Following some intense explosions, the charred corpses of the Devourers flew out from the 3rd Bunker. The entire entrance of the 3rd Bunker was also blasted and collapsed.
Yue Zhong saw this and frowned: "Damn, isn't it impossible to go in like this?"
He then made a guess: "No, it can't be. There has to be another entrance somewhere, they would not have blasted this so decisively otherwise."
At this moment, a patch of area about 500m away suddenly opened up to reveal a huge hole. From within the hole, 5 helicopters flew out towards the distance.
"The higher-ups have escaped!" Yue Zhong watched the escaping helicopters and guessed what must have happened.
Regardless of country, any government official had special treatment. While there were brave ones, there were likewise cowardly ones, and those who feared death.
Not long after the helicopters ascended, a few H1s hidden among the zombies opened their jaws and shot out a number of fireballs out towards the sky.
As the fireballs blast upwards, one helicopter was directly hit, and it exploded in a ball of flames, before plunging towards the ground. Another helicopter suffered a hit to the tail rotors, and it lost its balance, landing on a nearby roof. The rest of the helicopters managed to fly off into the night.
The moment the huge hole appeared, countless zombies and evolved zombies leaped into the hole. Immediately, gunfire and screams of despair sounded.
"Chance!" Yue Zhong watched the helicopter that landed on a building and his eyes flashed with a hint of delight, and he immediately made his way there.
The helicopter had landed on the 12th storey of the building but it did not blow up. Yue Zhong and Tenpyo Saka quickly arrived at the location.
Yue Zhong had just pushed the doors open to the 12th level when a bullet shot towards him.
He slapped it away casually, causing a sound of metal hitting metal to sound out.
Yue Zhong walked towards the middle of the room and saw a smartly-dressed military officer and 4 elite American soldiers. They were protecting a pair of women, one roughly 36 or 37 with silver hair and a voluptuous body, the other about 14 or 15, with a similar head of hair, and cute features.
Everyone shot Yue Zhong a look of alarm, someone who could slap a bullet away was basically Superman already. They had only seen such existences in the movies.
After the apocalypse, Yokosuka Base was filled with firearms and naturally, no one would use the items like the Novice Staff or Bat. After all, the might of those weapons could not compare to guns. Because of that, there were little Enhancers, and even then, they weren't strong.
Yue Zhong stared at the officer and asked: "I'm Yue Zhong! Who are you people?"
Graham, the officer, stood up and replied with flair: "How do you do! I'm Colonel Graham of the 7th Fleet of the Yokosuka Base. I am pleased to make your acquaintance. This is my wife Juliana and my daughter Alice."
From the surface, it was hard to tell that such a charismatic leader could abandon his subordinates and run.
Yue Zhong's gaze was filled with killing intent as he asked: "Colonel! Very good! I want the location of the following: all the ammunition in the Yokosuka base, central computer for the air defense and missile control, as well as all the passwords to gain access into the various parts of the base. Give these to me and I can take your wife and daughter to leave here safely. Otherwise, I'll throw you all to the zombies."
Juliana and Alice looked at Yue Zhong with a look of fear.
Graham hesitated before making a decision to comply: "Good! I'm willing to give them to you."
Graham had already abandoned his comrades and was termed a traitor. He was obviously the coward-type that feared death. Under Yue Zhong's threat, he chose to co-operate, because he wanted to live on. Yokosuka Base also could not contact America, under such conditions, many of the military men in the base had deteriorated, and were no longer the elites of the American troops.

Chapter 572: Army of Sea Mutant Beasts!

After making that decision, Graham readily provided all the information that Yue Zhong required. He was clear and detailed about the position of the armories, the weapons storage facilities, the defense systems, at the same time, he also updated Yue Zhong about the situation within the base.
At the onset of the apocalypse, a huge number of Japanese survivors had swarmed in from the Kanagawa Prefecture. Due to their arrival, the base was also filled with zombies as a result. A number of the American troops had been infected as well, turning into zombies. However, due to the guns and firearms within the base, after a short period of commotion, they barely managed to bring things under control.
Before the world had really turned and society had yet to crumble, humanity was still going strong. Most were still moral and not heartless, and the American troops helped to save a number of Japanese survivors.
Very soon, the American troops discovered that things weren't going well. More Japanese swarmed towards the base, and when they arrived, the entire base became like hell. There were zombies mixed everywhere. A huge number of American troops also got affected, leaving only 700 American troops surviving. As for these 700 soldiers, they were scattered throughout the base, and those who had really gathered together only numbered about 400.
The number of Japanese survivors that had approached Yokosuka Base for help was over a few hundred thousand. Without any mental preparation for what had come, the American troops had then decided to retreat further into the shelters and bunkers to avoid further casualties.
However, it was a move that would spell no way out, as once they entered the bunkers, the zombies surrounded all the exits.
At the same time, the zombies were evolving, but the survivors could only stay trapped within their safe haven, pushed to their limits.
In the epicentre of the hundred thousands of zombies, the survivors had no chance to expand. Within the various bunkers, there was enough food as well as water. There was no need to worry about food shortage at that time. But as they were trapped in their own refuge, with no hope for the future, many began to lose their minds.
The American troops were divided as a result. One half emphasized on maintenance of society and morals, as they protected the Japanese survivors. The other half had given into their inner demons, lording over the Japanese and humiliating them in various ways.
Graham's 3rd Bunker had belonged to the 2nd category, where the Americans had completely ruled over the Japanese. They subjected the Japanese survivors to various demented activities. Rape, murder, suicide became common and this caused unease and Graham and a few other officials. They had already begun to lose control over their soldiers.
This time, when the zombies managed to breach the bunker, Graham and the rest chose to escape. If they continued to remain there, they were afraid that the soldiers who were going insane might turn on them and their families.
There were 8 bunkers constructed within the Yokosuka Base and each bunker could accommodate up to 10,000 people. That was to say, even with the cases of suicide or torment to death, there were still at least over 70,000 survivors within the base.
The central command was designated in the 3rd Bunker, and it was in there where the anti-air defences and torpedoes were controlled from.
As Yue Zhong took in the information, he was filled with excitement. With the 3rd Bunker in disarray, it meant that the self defence functions of the base was down.
As long as the zombies around the mothership and on it were disposed of, Yue Zhong could directly steer the mothership away, without fear of retaliation from the base.
Furthermore, there were armories and other military facilities not yet opened within the base. It was reasonable to expect that the resources within would be abundant, enough to stock a faction for war.
If they could transfer everything, Yue Zhong would really have struck it rich. He might already possess the 3 manufacturing lines in Guangxi, Vietnam and Hunan, but even with an entire year of production, they could not match the amount of resources that Yokosuka Base already had.
Yue Zhong got the information that he wanted and quickly came to a decision: "Good! Let's go now!"
Tenpyo Saka could not help but speak up: "Yue Zhong, there are still many survivors inside, please lend a hand to rescue them!"
In the various bunkers, there were tens of thousands of Japanese survivors. Other than Yue Zhong, no one had the capability to save them currently.
Yue Zhong declined coolly: "No, I have no reason to risk myself."
There were over 70,000 Japanese survivors in the 8 bunkers. If they were Chinese, Yue Zhong would rack his brains to rescue. However, they were Japanese. Even if he saved them out, he would not obtain their support nor become their leader.
Yue Zhong, born a Chinese, would be detested by the Japanese. Even when he captured Tenpyo Saka, she wasn't willing to serve him. He could not be bothered to save a bunch of ungrateful people.
Tenpyo Saka gritted her teeth and said: "If you go and save them, I'll be willing to serve you, and become your woman."
Yue Zhong turned to eye this beautiful woman, and his heart stirred. He pondered for a while but still shook his head: "It's impossible to rescue them safely from this sea of zombies. Unless we have a Sky Fortress."
The full Sky Fortress would be like an entire mechanized city in the skies, with powerful firearms and advanced weapons.
Only with such a mighty piece of equipment would Yue Zhong have the confidence to rescue the 70,000 survivors. There was no other way currently.
Tenpyo Saka became silent and her eyes downcast. She knew it was an unreasonable even for the strong. Even she herself would not throw herself into the mouths of the zombies on this suicide mission.
The walkie-talkie in Yue Zhong's pockets lit up and he immediately pressed the button to communicate with Bai Xiao Sheng, whose voice sounded urgent. "Boss!! There's trouble!! Many Mutant sea creatures are making their way to shore!!"
"Mutant sea creatures!! They're coming ashore?" Yue Zhong was jolted when he heard it, and he immediately told everyone present: "Come with me!"
The American troops followed Yue Zhong as they ran towards the roof. There were a few scattered zombies that they met along the way, but they were taken out quickly before they even had the chance to react.
As they reached the roof, Yue Zhong immediately howled once towards the skies. Not long after, a huge gust of wind blew, and a gigantic divine-looking Type 3 Greenie appeared, its wingspan over 80m.
Seeing the Type 3 Greenie, Graham and the rest of his subordinates were all dumbfounded as they stammered: "Oh God!!"
Greenie at its current size was something vastly beyond the comprehension of the people present, as a single swipe from its wing could rip them into shreds.
Graham guessed that not even bullets could harm such a terrifying existence.
Greenie descended from the skies, and lowered its proud head affectionately for Yue Zhong to pat.
Graham and the rest were against shocked, and he asked carefully: "Mr. Yue Zhong, this is…?"
"It's called Greenie, my pet. Come on, everyone get on. If we want to leave from here, we can only sit on it." Yue Zhong leaped up agilely and threw down a rope.
This was in the centre of the horde, and while Yue Zhong and Tenpyo Saka could make use of the Second Order Stealth to escape, the rest didn't have that ability.
With Yue Zhong's help, Graham and the rest quickly got onto Greenie's back and grabbed onto its feathers fearfully.
With a single flap, Greenie rose quickly, and strong gusts of wind blew all around, and it shot towards the skies like an arrow.
High up above, Yue Zhong could see the shore, and he saw that the situation at coastal line was as Bai Xiao Sheng's report, countless Mutant Beasts were crawling out from the sea, forming a swarm of creatures making their way further inland.
There were many Type 2 and Type 3 Mutant Beasts as well that were as large as houses, and the scene was truly hair-raising.
Sharkie was already a Type 3 Mutant Beast and could be considered an Overlord, but amongst this army of beasts, it was just an ordinary creature.
Other than the Type 3 Mutant Beasts, Yue Zhong caught sight of 8 Type 4 Mutant Beasts. One of them was a gigantic turtle over 200m-long, and it had a long, dinosaur-like neck with a huge shell. Another was like a deformed fish, with a long slender neck and powerful fins for limbs. It was covered in scales. Another reached 40m-tall in height, and it had a pair of powerful claws. It was a carb with a green-color hue throughout its body. The 4th beast was a enormous Mutant Lobster over 150m long with spikes all over its body. The 5th was a huge transparent jellyfish with countless tentacles. The 6th was a huge water snake of over 200m in length, with a single black horn on its forehead. Its body was covered in thick scales. The 7th was a dragon-like whale beast, over 300m in length, 8 limbs that possessed sharp claws. The final was a strange beast that seemed a mix of a shark and some reptile, as it possessed a shark's head with powerful jaws, and fins as well as shark's tail. The rest of its powerful body was covered in thick shells, and it had powerful limbs with claws instead of fins.
Type 4 Mutant Beasts represented almost the top of the food chain, each and everyone one of them a terrifying existence. This time, having 8 appear, it was truly a devastating sight.

Chapter 573: Appearance of the Entire Marine Biology!

All sorts of Mutant Sea Lions, Seals, Sea Centipedes, Sea Lice, Sandworms and various other Mutant Beasts with the 8 colossal Type 4 in the centre made their way towards shore.
"That's terrifying!" Yue Zhong looked at them and his heart shook. Mutant Beasts possessed crazy armor, and their life force was strong. A Type 2 Mutant Beast was more than enough to decimate a company of soldiers that lacked heavy weapons.
By now, the Type 2 Mutant Beasts were barely above the rest of the ordinary Mutant Beasts, as they marched on in their swarms. There were over thousands of them. This was a number that was more than enough to annihilate an army of more than 100,000.
Greenie flapped its wings and caused a great gust of wind to rise, as it landed gracefully on the building Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest were on. At this time, the building was being surrounded by the Mutant Beasts.
Yue Zhong immediately leaped towards Bai Xiao Sheng and the rest.
Currently, the entire place looked right out of hell, there were the dismembered corpses of Mutant Beasts lying everywhere as Bai Xiao Sheng and his team fought off the Mutant Beasts with all their might.
Yue Zhong had just arrived by their side when 8 Mutant Beasts with bass heads, bodies full of scales, with fins, gills and claws opened their jaws and fired numerous bubbles. This pressurized bubbles blasted towards 2 Evolvers, sending them flying against a wall. The 2 unfortunate Evolvers spat out a mouthful of blood and it was evident that they had suffered grievous injuries.
Yue Zhong shot through his troops and waved his Crocodile Tooth Saw Blade 8 times quickly, chopping those 8 beasts into 2.
"Boss, you've finally made it!"
Bai Xiao Sheng grinned at Yue Zhong and shot out from beside Miya Aiko, waving his Dark Magic Blade as he weaved in about the swarm of Mutant Beasts, slicing numerous beasts in 2.
Yue Zhong eyed the surroundings and noted that Fukui Honten, Kazuki Nobuhiko and the Miya sisters had not yet died. The rest of the fishing folk and survivors had lost about 7 or 8 of their people.
Had Yue Zhong been slightly later, other than Bai Xiao Sheng, the rest would likely have perished.
Yue Zhong ordered deeply: "Retreat to the roof!"
"Yes!" 6 Evolvers replied and swiftly brought their injured comrades in the direction of the roof.
All of a sudden, there was the sound of glass breaking. A huge snakehead broke through a window, and opened its jaws to snap at Yue Zhong.
"Level 65 Strange Beast: Type 2 Mutant Sea Snake. Ferocious and violent creature."
Yue Zhong's gaze turned cold and he activated his Devil Flame, causing a fireball to shoot towards the mouth of the Type 2 Mutant Sea Snake.
With a huge explosion, the head of the Mutant Sea Snake was instantly blasted into pieces. Bits and pieces of brain and flesh rained from the skies, at the same time a skill book burst out.
Yue Zhong picked up the dropped skill book and quickly shot back. Although the entire body of the Type 2 Mutant Sea Snake was a treasure, he could not spare the time to slowly take it apart.
Kuang lang, kuang lang.
Following the sounds of glass breaking, a number of strange beasts with the heads,scales and fins of fish but standing upright on their legs that had evolved, climbed in from the windows.
"Level 23 Strange Beasts: Low-intelligence warriors of the sea. Possess a constitution 5 times that of normal humans. Their natures are bloodthirsty and violent."
Yue Zhong looked at the sea warriors and a look of shock flashed past his eyes: "Marine Clan!! Marine Clan lifeforms. Shit, even the Mutant Beasts have evolved to an intelligent stage? If they continued like this, will humans even have a chance?!"
Since the world changed, there were zombies and Mutant Beasts everywhere, and humanity was slowly forced to seek refuge in various corners. They could hold their own mainly because of the treasuries and legacies left behind before the apocalypse, at the same time, the zombies and Mutant Beasts were driven by their bestial instincts, rather than intelligence.
The moment zombies and Mutant Beasts developed intelligence, then with their advantage in numbers and constitution, humanity would most likely lose out.
Especially for those of the sea, earth had twice as much water as land. Furthermore, there were over 100 more times the diversity of life. Should the terrifying Type 5 Overlords of the sea get on land, only nuclear and guided missiles might have the possibility of destroying them. Beyond those, all tanks and armored vehicles were likely to be toyed around with.
A fierce glint appeared in the beady eyes of those sea warriors as they pounced towards Yue Zhong.
"Trash! Fucking beasts, you won't stand a chance!" Yue Zhong shot towards them and with a single blade beam, he took out 6 sea warriors instantly.
Having disposed of them, Yue Zhong retreated back towards the roof.
Kuang lang, kuang lang. The sounds of glass shattering travelled throughout the building.
One sea warrior managed to charge towards a fisherman, and its claws pierce his back, before it ripped him violently. A huge chunk of flesh was torn from the fisherman's back and fresh blood splattered.
"Ah!! Save me!! Save me!!" The Japanese fisherman screamed out in agony. He had just shouted twice when another sea warrior had jumped in front of him and chomped down on his throat.
3 others surrounded the poor fisherman and used their sharp claws to rip his body apart.
Seeing this bloody scene, the rest of the fishing folk felt their hearts turn cold and they quickly rushed towards the roof.
Yue Zhong swiftly rushed back with Bai Xiao Sheng as they cleared the various sea warriors from the back.
With the protection of the 2 experts, the rest managed to climb onto Greenie's back.
Greenie flapped its mighty wings and soared to the skies amidst roaring winds.
In the sky, Yue Zhong looked down and saw the Mutant Sea Warriors swarming all over the building like ants. Compared to those numbers, the ones that they had just killed seemed like a single hair of 9 oxens.
While these Mutant Sea Warriors did not possess similar combat strength compared to the Mutant Beasts, their numbers were simply uncountable. From the skies, it just seemed like the entire place had been overrun by those Sea Warriors.
They were strange in appearance, some had swordfish heads, others had octopus heads. Their bodies were scales, some had shark heads and their bodies were all burly.
The numerous sea warriors and the ferocious Mutant Beasts did not get in each other way, nor did they engage in any conflict. This caused Yue Zhong's heart to sink.
He patted Greenie lightly, and it began to fly towards the mothership.
Since the defences of the base had been resolved, Yue Zhong planned to obtain the mothership and leave the place quickly. The zombies and Mutant Beasts horde wasn't something their small party could handle at this point, after all, their numbers were really too huge.
Greenie landed on the mothership and the party leaped down from its back.
On the deck, the wandering zombies began to shuffle towards Yue Zhong and his party.
Seeing the state of the bodies of those American troops, the Miya sisters as well as Alice felt fearful and backed a few steps towards Yue Zhong.
In this world, there were people who constantly fought on the frontlines against zombies, while others hid behind for safety. The Miya sisters had survived like that for so long, and hence, their price was like that of goods, traded around as gifts.
Yue Zhong eyed the incoming zombies and ordered Tenpyo Saka: "Eliminate them!"
She was after all a Demon-level existence within Takama-ga-hara, her battle strength high. In a flash, she shot towards the zombies and decapitated all of them.
In 20 seconds, all the zombies had been wiped out by her.
After dealing with that minor disturbance, Yue Zhong and his party continued further into the mothership.
Yue Zhong turned on his flashlight and under the guidance of Graham, they began to walk towards the control room.
Along the way, many zombies would appear and try to attack them, however, before they got too close, Yue Zhong had taken them out easily. They managed to proceed smoothly into the control room of the mothership.
The 8 Evolvers that had followed Yue Zhong immediately stepped forwards to get accustomed to the controls. They had the Vehicle Operational Specialization and with that, even without any prior experience in controlling, they soon caused the mothership to move.
One of them came up to Yue Zhong and spoke excitedly: "Leader, we have already gained control of the mothership, we're awaiting your next orders."
Mothership!! It was something that many Chinese longed for. It was the pinnacle of power on the seas, without it, a country was of no threat.
Since the beginning of the apocalypse, China only owned one, and the one they had could not compare to the current U.S Navy's.
Yue Zhong frowned slightly, looking at the distance, before saying: "Go, bring the mothership towards Shizuoka Prefecture."

Chapter 574: Escape the Base!

The Evolver immediately replied: "Roger! Leader!"
The 8 Evolvers immediately got into action, and they begun to operate the controls as though they had been part of the crew for years. Under their deft control, the ship began to light up, and following the sounds of whirring, the huge carrier left its port and started to move.
Yue Zhong looked at Tenpyo Saka: "Tenpyo Saka, I'll leave the zombies on the ship to you."
She was after all an assassin that walked in the dark, and with the Night Vision ability as well, she was more than enough to handle the zombies within the mothership.
She glanced at Yue Zhong before turning around to go hunt down the zombies.
A single aircraft carrier mothership was the product of human ingenuity prior to the apocalypse, and its size was even larger than most Type 4 Mutant Beasts. Its movements caused waves to ripple out.
Many of the sea warriors and Mutant Beasts were attracted by the movement and begun to swim over.
The powerful defense systems of the mothership were activated and began firing at the surrounding Mutant Beasts and sea warriors. The resulting blasts tore the enemies apart. Blood dyed the sea red, and the corpses of numerous Mutant Beasts and sea warriors floated on the water.
Yue Zhong stood on the deck and brought out a single 12.7mm heavy machine gun, and begun to fire it at the sea warriors that survived.
On the other side, Sharkie drew close, and opened its jaws to suck in all the sea warriors. Its sharp jaws then closed tight, tearing the sea warriors into bits and their blood splattered everywhere. The speed at which Sharkie was slaughtering the sea warriors was even faster than Yue Zhong.
All of a sudden, a large tentacle rose up from the sea, and made to grab at Yue Zhong.
His face fell slightly as he dodged to the side, pulling out his Black Tooth Blade as he slashed out. The tentacle was sliced in two, and the owner retracted the remainder of its tentacle in pain.
As the water churned, a huge Type 3 Mutant Octopus of over a 100m in length appeared, and it stretched out all its tentacles to grab at Sharkie.
A monstrous Type 3 Sea Snake swam over hurriedly, accompanied by a Type 3 Mutant Swordfish with a sharp spike of 10m as they prepared to attack Sharkie.
The spike of the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish was really sharp, if Sharkie was really pierced by it, even if it escaped death, it would be at the very least heavily injured.
From the skies, Greenie shot down and grabbed at the Type 3 Mutant Sea Snake, and brought it out of the water.
The Green Eagles were natural fishing birds, and they perfectly countered snakes as well. Their speed was fast, and in a single swoop, Greenie easily pierced the body of the similar-level Mutant Sea Snake.
With a single move, Greenie had disposed of one enemy. The Type 3 Mutant Swordfish rammed into Sharkie, its sharp spike piercing the defensive layer of Sharkie, injuring it greatly.
Yue Zhong's eyes flashed with a chill as he immediately conjured a Devil Flame Spear expending 20 points of Spirit, and fired it at the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish.
The Devil Flame entered the water and caused steam to billow upwards, however, by the time it reached the body of the Mutant Swordfish, it had lost much of its power, not injuring it in the slightest.
The Devil Flame was terrifying on land, even able to cook an L4 that a rocket could not possibly damage. However, the moment it met water, it was basically useless.
In truth, most abilities were less effective in the water. Only body constitutions would not be affected.
The Type 4 Mutant Swordfish shot Yue Zhong a cold glare, and twisted its body, causing the sharp spike to gouge a huge wound out of Sharkie, fresh blood dying the sea red.
Sharkie bore its pain and reached out with one of its evolved claws to tear the tentacles restricting it, before it turned around to chomp down on the body of the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish. Its violent attack also caused the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish to suffer greatly.
The mothership continued to traverse forward, as the Mutant Beasts and sea warriors continued to pursue. The moment they caught up, the swarm would become a huge nightmare for Yue Zhong and his party.
Sharkie and the Type 3 Mutant Swordfish continued to engage each other, tearing and ripping into each other.
Right at this time, Greenie suddenly swooped down again, and pecked once violently at the head of the Mutant Swordfish, causing a huge gaping hole. The Type 3 Mutant Swordfish was killed instantly.
Sharkie swam forwards and bit down on the head of the dead Type 3 Mutant Swordfish ferociously, gobbling up the brain together with the nuclei.
After Sharkie absorbed the nuclei and brain into its body, it quickly swam for the depths of the sea. Many Type 2 Mutant Beasts swam over, attracted by the scent of fresh blood.
The flesh and blood as well as the nuclei of Type 3 Mutant Beasts were enticing to most ordinary and Type 2 Mutant Beasts. Since Sharkie was heavily injured, many of these beasts were naturally unwilling to let go of such a big piece of meat.
With Sharkie leaving, it naturally helped divert the attention of a huge number of the Mutant Beasts, decreasing the pressure on the human party.
Yue Zhong raised his 12.7mm machine gun and continued to fire it at the heads of the sea warriors. His body continued to flash about on the deck of the mothership, causing any member of the sea warriors that got too close to be killed immediately.
After 20 minutes, the sea warriors were left behind by the speed of the mothership.
The sea warriors were 5 times stronger than most ordinary humans. In a short span of time, it was possible for them to burst with speed exceeding that of the mothership. However, it was a short acceleration. Over time, it was impossible for them to maintain that speed. After all, they were biological lifeforms, and not machines.
After being on the sea for 30 minutes, there was a strange movement amongst the pursuing beasts. The Type 3 and Type 2 Mutant Beasts begun to attack the weaker Mutant Beasts, killing many of them.
Numerous weaker life forms were consumed by the larger ones, while others escaped, and in a short span of time, the entire Mutant Beast army seemed to fall apart.
"We're safe for now!" Yue Zhong saw the sudden collapse of the Mutant Beast army and he heaved a sigh of relief.
In the seas, the law of the jungle always ruled, the strong preyed on the weak, and they would often kill each other. This time, the organization of such forces was definitely due to some beast possessing the strength.
However, even absolute strength would have a limit, and in this case, it was the radius at which the control was present. It seemed that the moment those Mutant Beasts got out of range, they immediately fell apart.
Watching the fall of the Mutant Beast horde, everyone on the mothership heaved a sigh of relief.
The pressure from those Mutant Beasts and sea warriors had been too exhausting, not even the self-defence systems on the mothership could fully keep them at bay.
Furthermore, while the might of the weapons were terrifying, the expenditure of ammo was likewise as shocking. Yue Zhong had not yet obtained the resources from the base itself.
He directly asked an Evolver: "Xian Yu Ming! How many people is needed to run this mothership?"
Xian Yu Ming was one of Chinese that had followed Yue Zhong and was already a Level 44 Strength-based Evolver. He was also one of the pilots of the Thunder Fighters, possessing the Vehicle Manoeuvre Specialization ability, and he was the captain of the small elite group of the 8 Evolvers that had come on this operation.
Xian Yu Ming thought for a while before replying: "4. It will require 4 to navigate it and control the defence systems."
This was mainly thanks to the advanced development of the US, allowing for much of the ship to be automated. Due to this, the ship just required 4 well-versed crew members.
Yue Zhong gazed at them and said: "Good! I need just 3 of you to go command it. Who amongst you are willing to follow me to go get the flagship of the 7th fleet?"
"Leader!! I'm willing!!"
"Leader! I'm willing!! Chen Yi Fei is injured, let him rest. I'll follow you!!"
Hearing his order, the subordinates clamoured with excitement. They had already obtained the awe-inspiring mothership, if they could even obtain the 7th fleet's flagship, then it would be an honourable matter.
Together with the mothership, the flagship was also a terrifying war-machine. With these 2, they would be near invincible in the waters of China. As long as they didn't encounter any Type 4 or Type 5 Mutant Beasts, they were practically invincible.
Xian Yu Ming shot them a glare and barked: "Pipe down!"
The moment he opened his mouth, the rest kept quiet and looked at him in anticipation. Xian Yu Ming's position in the army was high, and since Yue Zhong enforced military rule, the lower ranked soldiers adhered vehemently to authority.
Xian Yu Ming then issued the order: "Zhao Tian Gang, Qiao Xing, Li Shu. The 3 of you shall accompany Leader."
Although Xian Yu Ming himself wanted very badly to go, he knows that the mothership was even more important to Yue Zhong. As the captain of this small unit, he had to stay on board to guard and command the ship.
